I live in Japan and I stopped eating raw oysters. The oysters that are consumed in Asia are quite different from the ones that grow in the Atlantic or the Mediterranean. They are just bland when row. They don't have this amazing sea taste that you would find in a "plateau de fruits de mer".

There are a great variety of oysters in any sea. Warmer climate facilitate faster growing, colder slower.

If you're eating bland ones are you in warm seas or eating from such? That bland taste happens when anything grows faster. Go up north, same in Western hemisphere.
