Chinc's  we have had several bushels of them so far this year.  Best in several years and super salty.  :-)

They were great the last time I had them. I like the smaller ones on the half shell and deep fry the bigger ones. I wish I had a trip planned down there.

Do you find it necassary to season them when you fry.  I fried some fresh clams caught in the Rehobeth bay last season and they were really salty. And was thinking it was necassary because they probabaly already have so much salt flavor from the water.  Anyone else agree with that way of thinking?

I put seasoning in the frying batter. Garlic, black pepper, Old Bay and maybe one or two other there things depending on how I feel.

I've only ever eaten clams.  I've recently started eating muscles but I've never really eaten oysters.  I've had some fried as a kid and one or two raw through my 20's but never really been into them.  I'm starting to get up the courage to atleast have cooked oyster but just haven't had a chance yet. I've seen them cooked over an open flame in ther own juices on the half shell.  Thats how i want to try them but haven't had a chance yet. Maybe this summer i will

Had a few raw Bay oysters at the Suicide Bridge buffet two weeks ago. Was surprised at how good they were - flavorful and fat.
Some of the best oysters I ever had were on the half shell on a bbq grill. They were off to the side and slow cooked in their own juices until they were ALMOST dry. Couldn't believe how intense the oyster flavor was. Wink

"There great!  I love the way they scream in your mouth when ya bite into them alive... "
I thought that was the pea crabs that screamed when you bit into them - right when they popped!

what's the best part
the eyes
sexual organs
little blood worms
or the stuffed intestines

I ate a lot of aysters, would get them for $5 per bushel off a ES waterman years ago - had to wash and scrub them to get the mud and critters off
 laugh laugh
We used to make our own chicatee oysters by sprinking fine salt on them on the half shell  --- people would rave about the salty aysters

another trick - save and clean your best shells - buy a container of oysters - put a oyster on your perfect shell and sprinkle with fine salt ( like mcdonalds has for it's fries)

do this in the other room as in restaurant before serving

now i'll stick to "cooked" aysters

We saved several dozen of the "best" shells years ago. Now when we make oysters rockerfellers and other variations we buy shucked oysters and put them in the shells. Soak and wash the shells afterward and save them for the next time! Don't have to fight the mud and the "critters" that way.

Jack - back in the day, when oysters were bought by the bushel

used to make my own oyster knives - gave quite a few of them away to friends

the core is a stainless steel butter knife, the sides scrap clear wood that won't roll off the table. The sheath, hard plastic tube to slide over the blade so you can put it in your back pocket for ayster roasts or when ya visit friends.

looks like the one on the right has been used more
