Cooked is ok, of course, but I much prefer them raw, on ice, with a squirt of lemon juice. People say you should swallow them whole, without chewing. I don't think that's right. What I do is hold them in my mouth a moment or two. They practically dissolve, and release all their flavour over your tongue.
They taste like sea...

I've never had oysters cooked before, but I would imagine it kind of defeats the point. Surely a cooked oyster becomes too similar to a mussel? Raw is yummiest with finely chopped shallots and red wine vinegar

I think oysters taste a bit fishy when cooked. The only dish I've enjoyed them cooked in was a creamy cajun soup. Otherwise I prefer them raw, with red wine vinegar.

Nope - too many hazards there. Toss them. it fairly is my prominent oyster recipe: elementary Oysters Rockefeller 24 oysters in shells a million tablespoon chopped onion 2 tablespoons snipped parsley a million tablespoon melted butter a million cup chopped cooked spinach a million/4 cup super dry bread crumbs Open oyster shells. With knife, get rid of oysters and dry. Wash shells; place each and each oyster in a deep 0.5 shell. blend onion, parsley, and butter; unfold over oysters. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika to flavor. fantastic each and each with 2 teaspoons spinach and sprinkle with a million/2 teaspoon crumbs. Dot each and each with a million teaspoon butter. warmth on mattress of rock salt at 450F for 10 minutes.

we have an oyster dinner every February at our gun club when it is time for elections. i think last year we went through 50 gallons of oysters. they are served raw, fried, baked and in other homemade dishes. i pretty much tried everything but my favorite was baked. for me, raw was a little too slimy compared to clams and mussels.

Angels on horseback!! Wrap a rasher of streaky bacon round an oyster meat-secure with a wooden cocktail stick-grill until the bacon is cooked-remove cocktail stick and enjoy.

Cooked in chopped up bacon - Delicious.
Raw, like drinking snot out of an ashtray.
