I love oysters on the half shell...we go to the coast often and eat our fill. I also buy fresh oysters from the local seafood houses and fix fried oyster po boys and also scalloped oysters.
My favorite (and really only way) I consume Oysters is in a shot glass, with pepper vodka, and a splash of cocktail sauce, horseradish, tabasco, lemon and pepper. YUM I will also do Oyster rockefellers sometimes.
My fiance loves oysters with a splash of ponzu sauce and green onion.
Raw oysters are great, but cooked are very good too - it's not a great bowl of seafood gumbo (THE greatest soup in the world) if it doesn't have a couple of nice, plump oysters in it. Oyster po' boy sandwhiches. So yummy ...
Serving plump, high-quality specimens on the half shell with simple, minimal condiments. This may be a stretch, but I don't care: fresh oysters are the best thing nature has ever done.
Anyone other oyster fans here?
I love oysters on the half shell. I used to live near a tavern restaurant with a surprisingly good oyster bar. Every Wednesday was 'buck-a-shuck'. One dollar for any oyster in stock and they always had at at least a dozen varieties. Most would order from the the daily menu but I had to to talk to the oyster guy. It wasn't a problem because the oyster bar was shucking and plating in view of the patrons. I would ask, "what did you get today, what do you like"? I discovered that I like small, briny. Just a spritz of lemon juice for me, thank you.
Awww man, just now realizing what the word "oyster" means in this thread.
Words can't even begin to describe what I think about this thread's 'oysters'!
^^ I don't get it.
I LOVE oysters! First thing I have when I get to Florida. Or NYC.
I've had them from both coasts, and I think I prefer those from the east coast. I like them Rockefeller'd too.
Ha! That IS funny! I guess this kinda thing will happen when you use the "View First Unread" button!
