CORNELIUS, NC (WBTV) - A man says he found oil inside his oysters while eating at a restaurant located north of Charlotte this weekend.

Matthew Robertson is fascinated at the thought that an oyster from the Gulf Coast that was possibly soaked in oil made it onto his dinner plate.

"I rubbed it on my napkin and I said 'Hey, Dad look, there's oil on my oysters,'" said Robertson.

He was so surprised at what he found, he kept one of the oysters to show our cameras.

WBTV reporter Sarah Batista noticed there was a black substance stuck to the inside of the oyster.

"That is definitely tar, that is not on oysters, "said Robertson.

Don't worry though because Gulf seafood has been declared safe to eat.

1. My wife and I feed a canned catfood treat to our cats every daily,

When we last went shopping, I mentioned that we should probably stay away from the seafood flavors in the canned catfood, since it seems likely that they would try and process a lot of contaminated seafood into cat and dog food.

6. There are recipes online for cats and dogs. A little pricey, but safe as you

control the ingredients.
