What is it with A, AA and AAA and oysters? Well, it's the same as small, medium and large, but that still doesn't help you decide which ones to order if you are new to oysters or if you have them in restaurants all the time.
The picture below show the difference in the sizes.
Obviously the larger the shell the bigger the oyster, but does the taste or texture change with the size of the oyster? The larger the oyster, the more developed the flavour as it's older.
If ordering oysters in a restaurant you will more than likely be having A or AA, as they are more dainty mouthful. If you are making a sauce with your oysters then the AAA is ideal as you get meat so there's less shucking for you to do.
