a squeeze of fresh lime juice

all in the cup portion of the shell..........

I forgo the salt, and eat them on a saltine.


Mmmmmmmmmmm

heehee...i can pick oysters up out in front of my house...hardly any work at all :D where my fam lives they're all over the place. i'll have to try your recipe :) thanks

Can't do that here, I would pick them off the rock, but due to the pollution levels in the waters they are dubbed 'unsafe' for eating.. :(

It's been awhile for me but can only eat fresh oysters
when the month ends in "er" even then the water never really gets cold. I eat them cold shucked or popped but without all the flavor boosters you use.

I know what it's like. Friend has a boat and we sometimes take it over to the awesome famous Sydney Fish Markets and get seafood.

We have the oysters fresh on the boat with lemon and Guinness - fantastic.

Recently we've been cooking Mussels and having them with fresh lime and pepper.

Try poaching them in boiling water for about 10 seconds, dry them dust with cornstarch and deep fry them with Tempura batter.
