Baked oysters

@ mirandablue
Too bad these succulent oysters were literally drowned in butter.  Personally, I prefer to eat oysters on a half-shell including the juice, raw or blanched with just a twist of lemon or vinegar dip.  Other preparations with added condiments "spoil" the distinctive flavor of oyster. But outside the family, I only have a few friends who can eat oysters the way I do.  On a dare, they'd eat baked oysters---but too squeamish to chew.

So this was another appetizer on a Saturday night-out with a couple of friends.  We drowned our sorrows, laughed at our faux pas and ate oysters to awaken the senses.

    I like my oysters raw as well. It was not easy getting the hang of eating raw oysters, but it only takes practice. Now I love it.

    That preparation with probably less 1/2 the butter would be best for mussels - that would be my personal preference.

    Looks like a good way to spend a night out with friends - not much of an oyster fan but wouldn't say no either :D

    I like oysters, don't love them though. I usually have them raw, with just a little lemon juice and sometimes some sriracha sauce. I tried Oysters Rockefeller once and they were alright, I would like to try them baked like this, but I don't know if I want them drowned in butter- love butter, but don't want to drink it.

    I am one of those people who finds raw oysters hard to eat and too chewy to handle. Is the baked one less chewy?
