Oysters.. who loves 'em?

Had some grilled with lemon juice, white wine and parmesan a couple weeks back. Holy sh*t these little things are tasty.

I'm thinking I may need to buy a glove and knife...

No need if you grill 'em. Just throw 'em on and they open op on their own as they cook, then you add to them right in the shell.

Awesome. I may have just figured out dinner this Saturday.

I like em on the half shell with lemon hot sauce or horsey sauce. Deep fried are good also

My favorite is to dip them in egg and then finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs and pan fry them in olive oil and butter. Server with homemade tartar sauce.

I am a fan of west coast over east coast by far (don't find them as salty, usually tobasco and lemon), but was down in NOLA not to long ago and had the pleasure of eating at Drago's. Love the raw oysters but fell in love with the charbroiled. Garlic butter, herbs, bread crumbs. Had to go back a few nights later for more.

Wait- charbroiled and then served with garlic butter, herbs and bread crumbs over the top? Charbroiled in or out of the shell?!? Do tell! I have less than two months before I get my share of fresh oysters, and that sounds amazingly good!

see here. looks like it was cheese not bread crumbs, although a mix of the two would be nice. makes me hungry just reading about it.

So when the oysters crack on the grill, do you pry the top off with something, or do you just sort of slip the extra ingredients into the shell?

 

[ChshreCat]

I like to leave the top shell on and just kind of pry it open a little more. Just an aesthetic thing for me.

It can be hard to find good fresh ones here in landlocked AZ, but I found a couple places that go though enough, and use proper storage methods, that they always have good fresh stuff on hand. I prefer them raw on the 1/2 shell with a little lemon, or with some light soy and a sliver of fresh jalapeno.

I like my oysters with a dash of hot sauce and a tequila chaser.
