Grilled Blue Point Oysters

Now, when it comes to eating oysters, I like them 3 ways:

1. On the half shell with either Texas Pete or spicy cocktail sauce with a saltine.
2. In a shot of beer with a ton of hot sauce.
3.  Breaded and fried (good for a hangover  ;) )

I had a friend one time who grilled them once, but they were way over done.  So, I decided to give them a try.  The local grocery store had them on sale for 0.99/ea...


I put them on the hot part of the grill, then flipped after 1-2 minutes...


Then, when they started to open, I moved them to the cool side of the grill...


Then, after all four opened, I heated for 30 seconds, then took inside.  I then ripped off the top shell and dotted with siriracha sauce...


This is a new favorite for sure.  Not quite cooked the whole way through, so they were not rubbery.  Warm, salty, and spicy.  Very good.  I will be doing this again...

Thanks for stopping by...

  1. I love BBQ'd oysters. These look absolutely delicious. I can bet they tasted like they look.

  2. They were outstanding Rueben. The key is not to overcook. Next time, I am going to try some clams...
