How to use "Oyster" in context?
Oysters are a type of mollusk in the family Ostariidae. There are many different types of oysters, but the two most common in the United States are the eastern oyster and the Pacific oyster. Eastern oysters are more common, but the Pacific oyster is more tasty.
Oysters are essentially filter-feeders. They suck up water and food stuffs through their mantle (shell), which filters out particles bigger than about 0.35 mm. This water and food mixture is then pumped over the gills, where the oyster absorbs the water and filters out the food.
