Recipe stolen from Drago's in Nola, they were awesome and the fire was fricken hot. Heirloom tomato sandwich for a side

Looks awesome!  A new fresh seafood store just opened up near me recently and they have oysters. I'll have to give this a try.

Grilled oysters look awesome!!! You can't go wrong with grilled oysters on the half shell or steamed whole. Raw is good too

Homegrown tomato sandwiches are a summertime staple at my house!

When you have your next meetup in ATL, I'll bring a bushel of oysters and you can fire up your WRK or a 26er.

I'll be eating grilled oysters next week in SGI.


Cheers

I buys lots of oysters either in half or whole bushels. Always ask the seller to see the "oyster harvest tag". Tag will have the harvest date, harvest location, state, type of shellfish. Do NOT purchase if harvest date is beyond 14 days or if they can't produce a  "harvest tag". Do not purchase if the oysters are displayed in ice water.

Fresh oysters really don't have a smell, so to speak. Maybe a salty smell.... If they smell like rotten fish or week old shrimp do not buy or eat. Don't eat poppers, that's an oysters that has died and the shell pops open.

If your buying 12-24 oysters you can store them in the refrigerator.  If buying by the half or whole bushel, store in a cooler. Cover oysters with lots of ice, drain plug pulled and cooler at slight angle for ice melt to drain. Do not let oysters sit submerged in ice water!

Good luck with your oyster cook and post pictures.

Cheers

It was over 600 at the grate, big block lump and weber briquettes, I need new eyebrows now, but that's how they do it at Drago's

Looks fantastic! Just be careful with all that aphrodisiac

Looks really good! Surprisingly I don't think I've ever cooked oysters - maybe sometime soon.
I think I might need a bigger backyard soon...
