Oysters.. who loves 'em?
|
|
Searched but can't find any threads on oysters. Who loves 'em.. how do you eat them.
Myself.. I love grabbing a dozen from the market, and shucking them, and eating them with no sauces or anything, save a little lemon juice or hot sauce. Goes great with homebrew!

I like to get 'em fresh off the beach, but where I live you can get fresh Hood Canal oysters anywhere. I like 'em with a little lemon juice and/or garlic butter. I also like 'em breaded, fried and served with a little homemade tarter sauce.

I love oysters! I really prefer the west coast variates but had some really good one from Texas a few months ago. I don't eat them often (Wisconsin isn't exact a big oyster producer), but I love them when I can get them.
i prefer half shell, with hot sauce on a couple. I'm not big on the lemon.

I thought they were just OK because for the longest time I got them steamed. Then many moons ago I was at Mardi Gras and was talked into trying them raw (hooray beer) and discovered that for me, they're way better raw. Milder, better flavor imo (which is the opposite of what I expected).
But I still eat 'em like a noob, on a cracker with cocktail sauce (extra horseradish preferred but Tabasco will do).
Apparently, oysters were way more popular a long time ago in this country (and way more prevalent). Like, hugely popular. I guess people loved them so much they ate 'em all.

Yeah, when most kids will choose a hot dog over a medium rare ribeye, things like oysters fall in popularity just a bit 
Damn, I want some NOW. Look what you have done. |

I love em any way I can get em......
My first choice is raw with a drop of Tabasco and a bit of horse radish...second choice would be freshly shucked, rolled in cracker crumbs and then flash fried.

If you're going to have them cooked in the shell, nothing beats the barbeque.

Pacific Northwest Oysters for sure! I love them raw with just a few drops of lemon, or the way my local sushi joint serves them up really nice with some light soy and a few other little bits of goodness.
