Oyster Season is here. Lead in your Pencil?

[Burchbeer]

I hear the waterman are bringing up limits of Oysters!
I am glad for them too.

I shuck a tray of 24 +/- oysters on the half shell, put a dab of minced garlic on each oyster, place a piece of pre cooked bacon on top of the garlic, place a piece of cheese (your preference) on top of the bacon, put the tray of oysters into the broiler for 5 mins until the oyster is curled and cheese melts all over everthing.
I take them out, turn off the lights, sip wine, get naked, and then...................................... well. you know.

Whats in your broiler? Or, whats your Oyster recipes?

I've got led in the pencil but no one to write to [grin]
Where bouts in Shady Side are you getting them? Woodfields?

shuck oysters, leave on the half shell

1) cook bacon in frying pan... put bacon off to the side and crumple into little pieces. Save Bacon oil in pan for now.

2) Dice Vadali or sweet OSI onions...Drain most of the bacon oil out of the pan (accept a little) sweat down the diced onions.. (don't over cook, just soften them up on med heat)

3) Add finely diced garlic to the onions (I actually used the already chopped garlic in the jar) remember med heat.. your not frying anything just softening.

Add olive oil if needed...

4) Add chopped Jalapeno peppers

5) Add some a nice chunk of butter....

6) Add the chopped bacon

Place half shelled raw oysters on the grill spoon salsa over the oyster, close lid and cook for a few minutes...

Good Stuff..

You can't go wrong with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of tabasco.

Dale...My next door neighbor is supposed to start tonging next week.

I'll post a price, but he's thinking around $35.00 a bushel for uncleaned oysters. I've already ordered his first bushel[grin]

[Water_boy]

My neighbor made some fried oysters last year that blew my mind (and waste line). I've thought about buying a set of tongs, doesn't look too difficult, does anyone here catch their own? If I could find somewhere to buy them at $35 per bushel that would work too I guess.
