dohhhhhhhhkcult said:Don;n32746 said:This is going to sound really weird but a friend who lived at the beach told me he threw them in the dish washer (no soap!!). Said it cleaned them and heated them up just enough to make 'em grin so that you could get the shucker knife in the shell.
I don't think my dishwasher would appreciate me trying to stuff oysters in her hooha.
Yeah, raw! All you need is one and a string! Tie string to oyster, dose with hot sauce, swallow. Pull up, repeat. You can eat all day! Nasty!!!!!!Coltdefender1911 said:Raw on half shell with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice best way EVER. Gotta wash em down with Corona
Yummy and oysters don't go together...ever!Tailhunter said:You get a heavy bladed knife, pry the shells apart and have at it.
Always remember a splash of Tobasco sauce never hurt anything.
or you can do it like fieldgrade said, either way, oysters are yummy.
BASIL;n32774 said:Do Not, put them in a microwave on a plate on hi for 2 minutes.
They will expel there self from there shell, all over every sq inch.
At high velocity. Ask me how I know this.
It looked like a dinosaur sneezed in the microwave.WeepingAngel said:BASIL;n32774 said:Do Not, put them in a microwave on a plate on hi for 2 minutes.

BASIL! How do you know???

Can't say I've ever seen a dinosaur sneeze, but according to my imagination it's quite voluminous and messy.WeepingAngel said:BASIL;n32774 said:Do Not, put them in a microwave on a plate on hi for 2 minutes.

JimB;n32756 said:It's been a long time, but here is what I suggest.
scrub with a stiff brush under cold water.
mix up a bucket of salt water (I forget how much salt, something like 80% the salt concentration in ocean water.
add oysters and a 1/2 cup of white corn meal to the bucket, stirring it all up.
put bucket in fridge.
change water in 3 hours dumping out any sand and adding more corn meal. (The oysters will suck up the corn meal and spit out the sand, so they won't be gritty).
roast on grill. Moderate heat. When they open up eat them.
you can try them raw, but using a shucking knife is a learned skill and going it alone will be frustrating.
good luck, and enjoy!
Agreed. We had some last week. Awesome stuff at our home. We used to serve it with Oysterette crackers before we tried our oyster stew with Ritz crackers. You won't believe how good this is with Ritz until you try it.Shrek said:Can't believe no one in this crowd has mentioned oyster stew. . . .
