In early February we attended
an Oyster Roast, as we have for the
last 4 or 5 years.
Gotta have a hot fire to roast these bad boys. Yummmmmmeee. |
You must have the oyster's cause they are on the menue. Lots of oysters, yes. |
The fire is hot; dump the oysters on the iron plate. |
Hose them down with water, then |
Cover them with a wet burlap fabric. |
Now comes the important part. You must have an expert to check on the oysters so you know when they are done. Two experts are better than one. |
When the shells pop open theyare done. Now shovel them up and dump on tables. |
There were probably over 200 people served this past February 2011. See My next blog for some more of the story. Ya'll come now ya-hear!! |

i love that fire in the first photo. i want to take a fire photo and we are no allowed fires here, so no luck. looks like a lot of fun to me, but i don't eat oysters. but again, i do know there was a lot of other food there.
I'm a little bent out of shape I didn't get an invite. YUM!! :-)
Looks like good eating and fun, fun, fun.
Have never had roasted oysters, but I suppose throw in a bit of spinach and sauce and you'd have Oyster Rockefeller... :)
That's what I call good old southern eating! We haven't done that in years.
That looks like quite an event.
