Khmer succulent garlicky oyster salad is absolute delicious. Back home, the poor eat mainly seafood but many prefers snail over oyster. Many Khmer like my grandma are very superstitious that they don’t eat oyster, because they said oyster is one of those creatures that can change sex, one-day male and next day female. They believe that if you eat oyster, it will mess up your motor skills.
