Jerry's Place, on Route 2/4 just south of Prince Frederick, MD:

We've eaten there a half dozen times. Everything is good. Had the best
fried oysters of my life there last week.

Fried Oysters...something I've never had.

When cooked properly, they have a light and delicate taste. If not
cooked properly, they are heavy and chewy. I don't like raw oysters, but
I do like raw cherrystone clams. Unfortunately, hepatitis is a risk in
eating raw shellfish. You do not want hepatitis.

Jerry, the owner of Jerry's Place, has promised to get in some fresh
Ipswich clams to make fried whole belly clams, one of my very favorite
seafood dishes. It's not easy to find the dish south of New England.

Hepetitis? Is that something common with shell fish?

There is a connection between raw shellfish and hepatitis:
