The succulant flesh of the common edible oyster has graced the tables of gourmets and gourmands alike since time immemorial. Its reputed powers range from aphrodisiac to restorative and was often prescribed by the 19th Century doctors in North America. Oysters are reportedly cultured by the ancient Romans, and old woodcuts show oyster harvesting in Japan.
