vote a drop or two of mignonette.

I really prefer small, plump, briny oysters that don't need any messing with, to the gigantic floppy muddy ones - but if I gotta eat dozens of the latter I'll go for the tobasco or cocktail sauce.

I refuse to buy oysters if they're priced per 'each'

that's just loving insane.

10 years ago I'd buy per pound, and when I got home, there would be a couple clearly dead, flopping about, so you expect to lose some to attrition.

I'll still find them for 5-6 bucks a pound, which means you'll get like 8-10 oysters for $5-6. that to me is acceptable. not ideal, but if you aren't buying in bulk, sure. they're super perishable and of course gonna be expensive.

paying $1.25 per oyster outside of a restaurant is loving ridiculous. if you bought a dozen, you'd have to at least be ok with accepting there's a risk one of them would be dead, and you'd already be out like 10% of your total purchase price.
