Rich:

I don't understand your complaints.  I've had nothing but good food at both places--but I must concur with those who proclaim the virtues of the Sansome St. Oyster House (and the Sam Adams microbrewery upstairs!).

I prefer fried or raw oysters--both places do a good job, but the Oyster House has the best fried I've eaten from Maine to Florida!

Raw oysters that are cool but not cold is a subjective matter on one hand, but a health matter on the other.  Flavors are a bit better if less than icy cold, but the health risks aren't worth it!  I'd have sent them back, unless I watched the preparer remove the unopened oysters from an iced condition in the first place.

BTW--I live in Pitman, NJ and also enjoy JG Cooks restaurant, just down the street from us!
