Looking for a simple smoked oyster recipe then give this a try today and start enjoying smoked oysters tonight.
Smoked Oysters:
I've loved those little cocktail smoked oysters that come in a tin since I was a child - still do for that matter. But one year my brother Loren showed up for a family gathering with a cooler full of oysters he bought the day before in Florida. We'd smoked a salmon for dinner that night so, because we had a smoker that was still hot and smoky, it seemed logical to try smoking some oysters. Oh my God. The first 3 dozen disappeared and a second 3 dozen quickly hit the fire. These are even easier to make using a stove-top smoker. Makes 8 - 12.
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 8 - 12 oysters
Ingredients:
8 - 12 fresh, live oysters
Preparation:
1. Set up your stove-top smoker according to its directions.
2. Add oysters, cover, and smoke for 15 - 20 minutes until oysters open.
Personally, I like these just the way they come out of the smoker with a hint of smoke complementing the brine. But you can certainly add some cocktail sauce, tartar sauce or gremolata if you wish. My grandfather insisted that oysters required saltine crackers to be eaten properly. (Granddaddy also insisted on cocktail sauce that he made himself - at restaurants.)vf
