Don’t worry though…he had steak :) Yes, this awesome steak covered with bacon, peppers, and onions.
I used to hate oysters, and apparently John still does, but now I have learned to love them. When I was little, I would get extremely sicked out by my dad and my sister when they would make some oyster stew. I mean, sick! Oh wait, I am over it now and do enjoy a good oyster stew :)
Oysters, oysters, oysters…I don’t like them raw so much, but Oysters Rockefeller and grilled oysters are just A-OK! Let’s be honest, they are a little slimy, but they sure do taste good!
A few months ago, we were at John’s brothers house for dinner. They had some oysters and decided to throw them on the grill. I was so intrigued by this method. Could it really be this easy to make oysters at home? YES! And yes, I really am excited about it!
Basically, you take oysters, place them cup side down on a hot (high heat) grill for a few minutes (the larger the oyster, the longer it takes - these little kumamotos opened up in like 4 minutes), and let them open up. You still have to shuck them to get them open all the way, but even having them pop open that little bit helps out a ton! Once the top shell is removed, top each oyster with a little bit of hot sauce and some melted garlic butter.
Here are a few notes:
- I have purchased oysters from a wholesaler here in SLC and from the Market Street Fresh Fish market. Either way, make sure your oysters are fresh. Basically, they should have been picked and shipped within a day.
- When you get them from a wholesaler, they are not cleaned. They are actually quite gross. You have to scrub the shells. If you get them from Market Street, they are cleaned. They are more, but you don’t have to clean them.
- If an oyster doesn’t open up on its own with heat, don’t eat it.
- If an oyster is opened before you put it on the heat, don’t eat it.
I think that covers it. Eat some oysters…they are good for you :) Although John's face says something different :)
