I have eaten smoked oysters and it aint for me . I eat oysters raw on the half shell , char broiled , fried, oysters beinville , oysters madaline and oysters on sauteed fish wrapped in dough and baked, but smoked oysters is the only smoked item that i just do not like at all.
I didn’t click any of the posted links above, but a favorite at our place is to put half a clove of roasted garlic (the roasted OR smoked garlic is the key here) in the half shell along with a half tsp of butter and just do a light smoke at about 200F for 45 minutes or so. WOW is that ever good!
Weird. It's the only way I'll eat oysters or salmon. I love just about anything with gills and/or a nerve complex in place of a brain (Ah Lub me sum CLAMZ!), but... Oysters and salmon have to be smoked before I even want to look at them.
D***mit. Now you have me thinking about crawdads. And they're a first born child and a signature in blood a LB Here in IL. Even though they're in EVERY STREAM POND AND DITCH THE EYE CAN SEEEEEEE!
