Bill-E’s Bacon Chargrilled Oysters recipe can be found below. But first things first, the things to know when using fresh oysters in a recipe!

Things to consider when buying the Oysters

We believe the freshest oysters you can find are in the local farmer’s market. So, it is better to locate the best farmer’s market in your area and head towards it. In this video, our oysters are from Murder Point Oysters. Their oysters can be bought online or in-store. Here are a few pointers that you need to check before buying them:

Now that you have bought the oysters, let us head home and start grilling them!

How to Store the Oysters at home

Oysters are easy to store. You need to fill a deep bowl with these oysters and cover them with a clean and damp kitchen towel. You can now refrigerate them for at least 5 days to a week maximum.

Also, if you have shucked them, you cannot store them in the fridge. It’s recommended that you should consume them within an hour of shucking. Otherwise, the oysters will go bad.

How to Safely Shuck the Oysters

People find shucking the oysters harder than cooking them. Honestly, it will take a few oysters to practice, but once it is done right, the process is easy and fast. You must have the right tools you need. We will use a shucking knife; a sharp one, a clean kitchen towel, a flat-head screwdriver, or an ice pick.

Start by folding the kitchen towel into a square of the size that can cover the oyster and help you grip it. Ensure that the towel gives you a tight grip to avoid accidents with the sharp knife.

Now look for the cupped side of the oyster and carefully insert the tip of the shucking knife into it. Gently run the tip of the knife to cut the seal of the oyster’s muscle. This will create a gap.

Here an important thing you must notice is the smell of the oyster. If they still smell like the ocean, they are good and fresh for eating, cooking, and grilling. Otherwise, any fishy smell means they have gone bad.

Continue shucking them by making that gap you had, bigger. Use the screwdriver and open the oyster. Apply the force to the hinge side of the oyster now to open them with minimum force. If you want to present them with hinges intact, open them 2/3rd way. Finally, you have shucked the oyster and can see the flesh and juices inside.

Now, eat them within an hour or prepare yourself for grilling them for our recipe!

Best ways to grill the Oysters

  1. Heat grill. In a medium bowl or pan, mix butter with garlic, parsley, pepper, and oregano.
  2. Grill bacon squares lightly and set aside. Slide the bacon squares gently in between the oyster and shell.
  3. Place oysters on the half shell right over the hottest part of the grill. Spoon or ladle enough of the seasoned butter over the oysters so that some of it will overflow into the fire and flame up a bit.
  4. The oysters are ready when they puff up and get curly on the sides, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese. Serve on the shells immediately with hot French bread.
