Never tried char-grilled oysters. Am I really missing out?

Are they that good

Si. Oui. Ja.


In other words, yes.

Yes. My recipe from the Recipe Thread. Just about to do a few dozen for lunch.


Char Grilled Oysters
4 sticks real, unsalted butter
2 T of your favorite Cajun seasoning(I use Tony Chachere’s) 1.5 to 2T black pepper
1/2 t red pepper
4 to 6 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 T minced flat leaf parsley
1/2 to 3/4 cup of lemon juice
Cheese-use Parm O and Romano at a 50/50 mix. I use the best I can find. I grate it in the food processor.
Mix the butter mixture,adjust seasoning to taste, and refrigerate. For an hour or more. Add @1/2 to 1 T to each oyster. Add the same amount of cheese. Grill over very hot coals until the oyster begins to curl and sizzle a bit on the edges...may take a few minutes. You’ll want the flames, if possible, to flare up a bit. To get this, you may wish to have more butter, melted, to spoon over the cooking oysters.
Use tongs and be careful. The rule of thumb, which I’m sure you know is you can always cook them more...but you can’t “uncook” them .
This should do 4 dozen or so oysters. Serve with good bread for dipping the excess sauce.
A tip on the butter sauce...go heavy on the lemon and black pepper flavors...slightly over season. You’ll like them.

Even if you don't like them raw/fried, I would suggest trying'em char-grilled. They are very, very good.

I don't like them raw or fried either. I tried chargrilled ones for the first time a few months ago and loved them.

GTFO, an oyster po-boy is like stepping through the gates of heaven for your mouth.

True, I am scheduled for a heart procedure on Thursday, a no shittum truly new wierd one no less.

Best of luck.

You'll be eating charp-grilled oysters in no time.

It is true, I was the subject du jour for a conference meetup of all of the cardiologist of BR a few weeks back. The wierd part of the surgery is having a second doctor that is not a cariologist plug a cardiac artery, they can still opt for a cardiac surgeon and do open heart if needed to achieve the desired goal.
