Title: Fresh Oysters Steamed
Post by: Savannahsmoker on February 10, 2014, 08:51:31 PM: We took the boat out to Ossabaw Island oyster beds and raked up three large coolers full of oysters.
Gave most away and kept about 60 or so for us.

Ready to steam first load:

Steaming for eight minutes:

Post by: nylic76 on February 10, 2014, 09:46:10 PM: Looking good. I can really chow down on steamed oysters. Don't know where you're located but I'm envious that you can get fresh ones that easily.

Post by: Las Vegan Cajun on February 11, 2014, 01:07:43 AM: I'll have mine raw on the half shell with some Tabasco and horseradish mixed in some ketchup and fresh lemon on the side please. ;)
Title: Re: Fresh Oysters Steamed
Post by: bbqchef on February 11, 2014, 06:58:53 AM: Same for me... raw.

Forget steaming, deep-frying, etc.

Shuck them, a spritz of lemon, some hot sauce and they're good to go...

I'll take a dozen please!

Can you imagine the first guy that cracked open an oyster and said, let me suck this down and see how it tastes.

Not much better for me than an ice cold raw oyster with some spicy cocktail sauce or just Tabasco. I know lot's of areas have their oysters but we are lucky enough around here to get those delicious Apalachicola oysters, at least when Atlanta is not flushing so much crap down the river to the bay.

The same way you feel about raw oysters is how I feel about peas :P

I love raw oysters with lime juice and Tapatio!

Thanks for the tease. I need directions for this. I am from the Raw and Tabasco school.

Much the same as Raw as far a condiments.

First get some fresh oysters.
(http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh471/Savannahsmoker/Cooking%20Other%20than%20BBQ/Oysters/051_zpsc005577a.jpg) (http://s547.photobucket.com/user/Savannahsmoker/media/Cooking%20Other%20than%20BBQ/Oysters/051_zpsc005577a.jpg.html)

Wash and stack in the SRG or BE rack.
(http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh471/Savannahsmoker/Cooking%20Other%20than%20BBQ/Oysters/052_zps070feee2.jpg) (http://s547.photobucket.com/user/Savannahsmoker/media/Cooking%20Other%20than%20BBQ/Oysters/052_zps070feee2.jpg.html)

Preheat SRG/BE and load with rack of oysters. Remove when the oysters start to open usually about 20-25 minutes.

When done right we get oysters with liqueur like this.

We eat these just like we do raw oysters.
