Anyone cook oysters?

There are an abundance of them not twenty minutes walk from my house. I've collected and cooked some once before, I just used water to boil with garlic and chilli flakes to taste, did 'em until they opened.

They came out like the best mussels I've ever had!

I took the better (read worse) half and daughter out down the cockle sheds the other day and had crayfish tails, crab claw meat, pinx and cockles. It's got me in the mood for more seafood.

So, any seafood lovers? Specifically shellfish? Not just oysters but after your recipes for those above all else.

Many thanks.

Sunny sarfend on sea, my mate got some juicy big clams the other day here, we're talking the size of cd cases near enough.

There are mussels, cockles and whelks a plenty also.

There has once been a big fuck off lobster found too, although I believe he ended up in the sealife centre.

Make sure you don't have a sewage pipe nearby. I've never cooked Oysters and only had them once and it was with lemon juice, I don't think you're supposed to do anything too elaborate with them.

I do hate recipes that utilise daft cooking methods such as cook on hot coals, where? are you supposed to light the bbq up just to cook some Oysters?

You could just microwave them and put some tomato ketchup on.

But for fucks sake.

Never had oysters, are they just like big mussels?

Love mussels, went through a large bag of them the other week. Simply cooked in white wine and some garlic, the best way for them.

I want some now Neutral

Apparently, they are an aphrodisiac. Best eaten raw straight off the shell.

Personally, they make me boak.

My first husband (in NZ) used to sit on the rocks at the beach with a can of beer and a slice of bread, smashing oysters out and scoffing them.

On the subject of seafood, in general, though ... not a fan.

Generally I can't stand mussels or cockles, or oysters, any of those muscular little things, ugh, like little bundles of snot.

Crayfish, squid, lobster or prawns is about my limit, although I'm okay with fish and will give most fish a go.

I was pleasantly surprised though, when a mate of mine who lives in Pescara took me and Anita to the restaurant on the marina where he stores his research boat.

The menu was mostly seafood, so he bought us a huge plate of assorted things to share, I just thought "Oh nooooo, I can't eat any of that!" ... but for politeness sake, I bit the bullet, and actually enjoyed quite a lot of it Embarassed

So these days, I'd probably TRY something, but you wouldn't be able to tell whether I liked it or not Laughing

Cant be bad as I've had them and been fine, and there would be a lot of ill people from eating them when these lot get distributed.

Never trust someone who doesn't like cockles.

Interesting. So you like cockles and you're obsessed with your arse.

Lay down on the couch - that's right. Now, tell me about your mother.

You went through a large bag of love muscles? Where the fuck do you buy a bag of love muscles from? I hope they were free range...... Laughing
