One thing he didn’t verbally mention, is notice how he deliberately doesn’t dump out the liquid inside the oyster and clam. There is tremendous flavor there.

I grew up with raw oysters. My Mom was born on the Eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and we would go to her Mom's house for visits and would go down to the warehouses where the boats came in and get the oysters from there. The best I have ever had came from there. But that was a very long time ago (60's and 70's). I could easily consume a good pint of them no problem. Jacques did a great demonstration in this video. The pros usually will wear protective gloves when shucking the oysters, and yes the natural juice is absolutely essential to go with the oyster!

When I was visiting Çanakkale (near ancient Troy) in Turkey June 2019, they were selling fresh black mussel with just half a lemon by the sea side, I was very curious but I didn't try it because I was jet leg and have long journey ahead and fresh seafood was not on my mind. If I have a few days to rest, maybe I would try it.

The Aquatic Ape hypothesis claims that humans (since we are the only hairless land mammals whose babies float in water) evolved on coastlines in Africa to easily escape predators. Clams, mussels and oysters could have been a main source of food, probably broken open with rocks. We doubt they had the wonderful sauces since there were probably no excellent chefs like professor Pepin around.
