Average about 2-1/2" with some 3-1/2" to 4". The place called them Texas oysters, so I guess not everything is big in Texas. 
This is the first time I've ever bought oysters by the pound.

Oysters are always priced 'per oyster' or per number of oysters here - usually 6 or a dozen at a time. They are currently about £1 to £1.50 each. That's $1.23 to $1.85 each. How do yours work out?

I haven't noticed that Texas oysters are any bigger than normal, but that's pretty much what you get here. I only get oysters at restaurants, where they are sold by the dozen.
BTW, there is a chain of oyster bars in the Dallas area names Aw Shucks.

Bluff oysters are the best I've tried anywhere. Big and juicy. $30 a dozen. I like them raw dipped in malt vinegar and lots of white pepper. Or deep fried. Bluff is at the bottom of the South Island.

It's a miracle.I got the horn just looking at them.... see in 30 seconds
Malden and/or Mersey Island rocks and natives are the best in the UK in my opinion - better than any I've eaten in France. Did a search of my photos and found over 25 shots of oysters eaten on different occasions. I must try to add to that. Here are some Malden rocks:

Beautiful mate, British cold water native take some beating.
Agreed - impossible to come by though unless you go to the coast at the right time of year.

First dish with the oysters
Today we'll have either po'boys or raw and grilled oysters with a garlic/herb butter like they make at The French Market restaurant in NOLA.

Second dish, po'boys.
Third dish , Grilled oysters with herb/garlic butter.
We ended up with around 6 dozen for $58. The same oysters were $13 for a dozen, so buying a 30 pound bag was a pretty good deal.

Yours are cheap, ours around $30 a dozen. A real treat given minimum wage is $17 hr. I normally have them two or three times a season. Once raw and then fried in batter.

Oh, some of them can be a lot more depending on what kind and where they come from. That just happened to be the price for that particular kind.

We also get farmed from the north island , about half price of our ones. I won't eat them, tasteless and small. They are called pacific oysters.
