If you are a lover of oysters, or any type of seafood for that matter, you are definitely going to enjoy National Oyster Day. This is a day that has been created to celebrate the different number of species of bivalve molluscs that can be eaten, which are now considered a delicacy around the world today. In fact, oysters have been consumed for centuries by humans around the world. They also used to be a pivotal source of food in areas near the coast.

 

Overfishing and pollution have both reduced the supplies of oysters by a considerable degree. Nevertheless, they still remain a delicacy that is highly popular today. You probably already know that they are considered an aphrodisiac. They are also rich in vitamin B12, vitamin A, selenium, iron, calcium, and zinc.
