Had one of these last year. The search engine sucks...can't find it to bump.if you wish, post all oyster. Info, questions, and recipes here.
Got a sack this week from Captain Avery's in Mecca and they were in great shape...getting plump, reasonably firm, and nice salt. The small sack only had a few dry...and they got a bath of butter sauce on the grill. They aren't cheap this season , but eat up. Life ain't for ever.

Sat I had a half sack from Collins on Golden Meadow.
Fat
clean
salty
all singles except 2 or 3
1 or 2 dry ones.
I did 3 dozen on the grill, 4 doz in a gumbo and between me and my son we probably ate 2 dozen raw, so the sack had about 9 dozen.
Half sacks were $35, full sacks $60. In the past 3 years ive been very satisfied with all oysters ive got there.

yeah when you eat them outside of the winter months they are spending their energy reproducing, which means they are jacked full of oyster sperm during the summer.
Just an interesting tidbit

if anyone knows a good place in the dfw area, I'm all ears.

Our sack was $50. Didn't count, but I think we were @7 dozen...some very large. Only had a few dry...maybe 3 or 4. Had five or so doubles or better. Getting a sack Friday for the duck club.

I remember those days. You could get a keg of beer and a couple sack for about $100 and entertain a large group. I used to love those style parties. Everyone would put up $5 or $10 and start shucking and eating.

seems like there were alot more than 7 to 9 dozen oysters in a sack too. Crazy.

Our 100 count sacks up here, prespill, were 30 to 35 bucks. Long gone.

Picked up (2) 32 pound sacks for a deer camp trip from Tony's for almost $100 due to time constraint. They were good and salty, mid size oysters. If time would have allowed, I would have made a trip to Reno's in Sorrento. They have the 85-90 pound sacks for $70 out the door. Large oysters, very good.

I think I remember picking them up in Houma during the 70's for $5-$7 a sack. Call the fraternity house collect, tell em to have clean buckets of water, go get their screwdrivers out of their toolboxes and put ice on the Old Milwaukee, Young Ram was on the way.

This was a half sack.
Prices will come down some. I bought a full sack straight off the boat for $40 last year. 2 weeks before I bought that half sack a couple weeks ago it was $40 a half sack.

im gonna grab some from CAs this week while in Mecca and do some up for the inlaws using your recipe
quote:
Dodd, here's the write up from the Recipe Thread. I've thrown in a few comments at the bottom. Enjoy. It's a good method. 4 sticks real, unsalted butter 2 T of your favorite Cajun seasoning(I use Tony Chachere’s) 1.5 to 2T black pepper ½ t red pepper 4 to 6 cloves of garlic, crushed 2 T minced flat leaf parsley ½ to ¾ 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. ETA: just cool the prepared sauce a enough to thicken it some...handles easier that way. 10 to 15 minutes in the fridge should work.

We ate a sack Monday at the camp, and the method works. Picking up a sack tomorrow to repeat the sin. The key is to pull them when they begin to sizzle. They'll cook a bit more afterward. But you won't overcook them that way.

Just FYI, Renos has large sacks for $65 and small sacks for $45

Makes me feel better about paying $50 for a small sack 3.5 hours north of there.

I'm paying $28 for a half sack out of Montegut. I've been getting quality oysters.
Posted on 11/20/14 at 8:54 pm to OTIS2
I pay 3.50 an oyster here in Atlanta. Pretty much the only way NOLA>ATL wish I could get a sack or two of some fat salty oysters. Drooling just thinking about em.
