For women?
I'm confused.
Appropriate name though.
A tongue twister.

'Oysters Anyway' is fine with me...
..but my favorite is Oysters Rockerfeller.
Add some chilled and enjoy the whole chain of events.
.
.
Some truly great recipes I have followed:
Oysters Rockefeller
1 cup chopped shallots
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 1/2 cups chopped spinach
1/2 cup flour
1 cup melted butter
1 cup oyster water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup minced anchovies
4 ounces absinthe (herbsaint in my case. a local product)
3 or 4 dozen oysters
Fill a pie pan with rock salt for each serving. Place in oven to preheat salt. Make Oysters Rockefeller sauce by putting shallots, parsley and spinach
through food chopper. Stir flour into melted butter and cook 5 minutes: do not brown. Blend in oyster water, garlic, salt and cayenne. Stir in chopped
greens and anchovies. Simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Remove cover, stir in absinthe and cook until thickened.
Place half shells (6 per serving) on hot rock salt. Fill each shell with an oyster. Put sauce in a pastry bag and cover each oyster. Bake Oysters
Rockefeller in preheated 400 degree oven for about 5 minutes or until edges of oysters begin to curl. 6 to 8 servings.
Oysters Roffignac (really good)
3/4 cup butter
1/3 cup finely chopped cooked mushrooms
1/3 cup finely chopped shallots
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Dash cayenne
1 cup oyster water
1/2 cup red wine
2 dozen oysters
Fill four pie pans with rock salt and place in hot oven to preheat salt. Make sauce. In a 9-inch skillet melt butter and lightly saute muchrooms,
shallots, onion, shrimp and garlic. When onion is golden brown, add flour, salt, pepper and cayenne. Brown well, about 7 to 10 minutes. Blend in the
oyster water and wine and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. Place 6 half shells on each pie pan and place an oyster in each. Put stuffing in
pastry bag and cover each oyster. Bake in preheated over 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges of oysters begin to curl. 4 servings.
Charbroiled oysters. Will be addictive.
24 raw oysters on the half-shell (large)
1 pound butter
2 tablespoons garlic, chaopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Grated parmesan and Romano cheeses
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
Mix butter with pepper and garlic in pan.
Put oysters on a charcoal or gas grill, and spoon butter mixture over oysters. Then place a pinch of the cheeses and parsley on each oyster. Broil
until the oysters have a puffed-up appearance. Flame ups are dramatic and give that extra yum.
.
Of course, if all that cooking takes too much time...just SHUCK AND SLURP EM!
 .
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

The 'little woman' wants to know:
Should she be using cloth pastry bags? The plastic ones melt and have a distinct aftertaste.

Humans eating things that belong on a hook. How do you guys prepair those rubber Scampis? I'll bet the glittery gold ones taste like Filet Mińon.
YUMMY

Everything is good with garlic and butter, up to a point. The last time I was in La Bocana, I told my neighbor "we should bbq some oysters". He came
over with 10 dozen. There were 6 of us. I don't want to see one anytime soon.

"Of course, if all that cooking takes too much time...just SHUCK AND SLURP EM!"
This is how I do it;
Oysters on the rocks.
Oyster off the rock...
My personal oyster shucker doing his business...
The end result in my hot little hand, just waiting for a dip back into the salty water and.... yummo! No tabasco, no nada.
Pure heaven.

Just as long as they are really fresh---one needs to be very sure of that and careful.
John ate raw oysters in San Blas many moons ago and it was a good thing he was young, healthy, and his land lady in Guadalajara was there when he
returned home to take care of him and find a good doctor. He still remembers the dreams in technicolor--
Just make sure they are fresh.

The freshest oysters are harvested between November and April. The exceptions are if October or May are colder months than normal. Then the oyster
season is extended by a month or two.
A little squeeze of the little Mexican limes is all they need.

Diana,
Very true. I'm a bit spoiled I guess. I don't eat oysters off of the carts.
The oysters I eat are 30 seconds old.
That's how long it takes for them to get from point R. to point M. (rock to mouth) About as fresh as you can get them.

Friday Harbor and the San Juans......
Anyone ever heard of Blau's?
For this thread, sad to say, my introduction to oysters was chopping quarts of the raw buggers (5-8 quarts depending on the day) for the
restaurant..........
It was not very nice to go on a date as a teenager with your hands smelling like an oyster. This is before the advent of food service gloves.
One of my jobs on Saturdays was to bleach the cutting boards. Boards that were so used over the years that they looked like a "W".
Now I know, as folks evolve, the smell of oysters may evoke another reaction, but for a teenager..............
it is not a good thing..........................
 
BUT~ where's the Dungeness?!?!?!??!?! BRINGITON!

Oh no, you mean to say that just the aroma is not enough?
Think I am glad I worked at a Foster Freeze as a teenager.
