Oysters
 

What's everybody's favorite way to eat these bad boys? I'm sitting here watching a show and they are steaming them and wondering if they are good that way...I love them charbroiled...

In a gumbo!!!!!!!!!!! Man I wish it winter time!!!

RAW

i've had them raw one time and don't like the loogie feeling...:help:

If you eat em raw.....gotta have some lemon and Louisiana Hot sauce.....:smokin:

with garlic, butter and herbs....yuuuummmmyyyyyy!

Ingredients

• 32 oysters, on the half shell
• 1 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (not from a can!)
• 1/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese
• 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley

Directions

1. Heat the grill to med-high.
2. Melt butter with garlic and pepper in a large skillet.
3. Mix Parmagiano and Romano cheeses in a small bowl.
4. Spoon some of the melted butter mixture onto each oyster.
5. Add a pinch of the combined cheese to each oyster, add a pinch of parsley.
6. Place oysters on the grill.
7. Grill oysters until they are hot, bubbly and puffed, about 8 minutes.

I love them steamed w/ a little bit of butter. Cook out that Hepatitis C and the added aphrodisiac effect. Crank it up.

Never really liked oysters much but that looks and sounds great! might have to give it a try...

I like em raw with a shot of hot sauce, squeeze of lemon and on a cracker... we have the best tasting oysters here in panama city.... Appalachicola oysters...

grab it outta the mud... take a knife... shuck and suck !!!! (thats what she said... lol)

My friend and I don't like raw oysters, but when we go to New Orleans and they are in season, the boys get at least half a dozen with every meal...We saw these one day and thought we'd give them a try, cuz we knew if we didn't eat them, the guys would...They didn't have to...We ended up getting about 3 dozen between the 2 of us...Soooooo good!!! Now every time we go, if they are on the menu, we get them...:D

Wraped in bacon rolled in cornmeal then deep fried.

You should try the charbroiled oysters from Blacks Oyster Bar in Abbeville LA.... Jike eating bite-sized ribeyes..

Next time you go to New Orleans go to Jaeger's on Clearview Pkwy best grilled oysters around there....

I'll definately try there...we usually go to Acme...they don't make anything bad there...:D

The absolute best charbroiled oysters are at Drago's in New Orleans

oysters are good any way u cook 'em .... or even raw... mmmmMMmmmmMmm.... gotta find me somma dem bad boy's !!!

yup...have to agree...:work:

Phare's in Lafayette (It's where Baraca's used to be) has them fire grilled. Not sure what night of the week, but they have some special on them. Very good.

Get a sack of oysters, a glove, an oyster knife, and start popping them open. eat till you full. No lemon, no hot sauce, no crackers, just oysters.

Didnt ole man Phare's used to own Shucks in abbeville? I think he was the one that started the "charbroiled oysters" around here, all the other places just followed suit i think... Someone corrct me if im wrong..

you the man, yes he did. his son is currently runnin phares in lafayette. thats sum good people man. great friends and great food.mr. jack is always givin my kids pearls that he found in them oysters

Like them anyway ... raw ... oyster rockerfeller, oytser bienville, grilled, fried .... all good

As the great grandson of a Croatian oysterman, I think he'd be proud. I like oysters any way you've ever heard of. Dad and I still had our own oyster lease until 1999 in the same spot my great grandfather seeded his. Heck, I still have the oyster tongs he made with his own hands back in the '30s.

Drago's restaurant has the best charbroiled oysters I've ever personally tasted. I don't fry oysters anymore because there are so many better things to do with them. Raw is great, and you need horseradish to make a good sauce for them in my opinion. Still, they're great just plain by themselves, sitting on the dock with a bunch you just tonged out of the bayou.

Now for something completely different. I started doing this when I was a kid. We always had a boil going on at the camp. Zatarain's only of course, bags and liquid. Somebody would bring crawfish out, or we'd have crabs or shrimp, along with the requisite corn, potatoes, andouille, mushrooms, boudin, etc. we'd throw in the pot. One day I shucked a bunch of oysters I had tonged out from the dock and I threw them in the top of the pot in a strainer. I let them go for about 5 minutes or so, put them in a bowl and ladled some boil on top of them and let them sit for a bit. Then I strained them and took a bite. AWESOME.

Don't believe me? Try it yourself.

I understand some people don't like them raw because of the consistency, but oysters truly are a gift from God. I remember eating them raw when I when I was only 4 years old.

Here's a pic of the old man, Peter Rozich at his camp, on his shell pile in Bayou Cook circa 1943.

I am not that experienced in oyster eating. All I have tried is raw and grilled. Both are awesome.

Law, my grand pa used to to tong oysters and fish crabs on a pa lon when he wasn't shrimpin all from the same 20' skiff with a 16 hp Briggs. He smoked 2 3 packs of cigarettes and could outwork a van full of sweaty mexicans. He was a beast. The stories he told me in the middle of the night in the latter part of his life made me realize how hard the old timers used to work.

Raw oysters, la hot sauce, saltine crackers, cold beer and an lsu football game!!!!!!!!!!!!

La saturday night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought a sack yesterday!The best is on the grill with minced garlic,olive oil,worsetershire,tonys,and parmesan cheese when they almost done!We also boil them in the shell just like crawfish,they taste great that way too!

i like them that way too...my hubby prefers butter to the olive oil though...:D

GW Fins in the 1/4 have them smoked oysters on the half shell. They are sizzling when they bring them to you.
