Don't get me wrong, I totally understand why we have to shuck um on the beach. But my favorite way is on the bbq with a little garlic butter! In the shell! Oh so good in the shell. I get you can buy them but uh.😢 campfires even better.
Not quite the same but you can cook them on a bbq in custard dishes if you have to leave the shells. I have thought about keeping some shells from a purchased batch just for cooking shucked oysters. I am with you though, oysters on the bbq with butter and garlic.
Dip those in bbq sauce and put them back on for a couple mins to carmelize. What I love tho, is on the half shell. Drain the liquor, add a tab of butter and hit it with garlic and Parmesan. You may need to improvise the “half shell” tho. :)
thanks for the pro tips! I will have to try that. I've thought of just retaining 18 deep shells from when i buy them once or twice a year so I can have half shells.
Nice haul. Hama Hama Oyster saloon is a good place to try different varieties of oysters. I went there last week. Recipe looks good. Can't go wrong with any bacon recipe. Gonna have to go harvest my own one day. 👍
Excellent! I will try this next time. Our first good tide to harvest was about 10 days ago. I grab small ones since I'm the only one at home who likes them. Limit is 12 here.
@@WAFishQuest We can shuck them on the beach or at home, they do encourage us to return the shells to the beach but we are not required to do so. I usually just put the oysters on the BBQ and let the heat open them up. Shucking can be very difficult if you don't do it all the time. My usual warning to new harvesters is "The bigger & older the oysters, the harder they are to open". haha. I hope you, your family & friends have a great summer Blake! Mike.
I’m not a big bacon fan myself. If anyone wants to change my mind, please send over some free bacon and I’ll ensure I eat them em, I mean, force myself to try them. Great episode!
Hood canal oysters 100% hit different, in a good way. I admire your will power I would have wacked all 18 right there on barnacle butt rock. Awesome sonics jacket too, classic! 🤙🤙🤙
As a Native Louisianian that grew up on Cajun and Creole, oysters were a mainstay for us. However, after being a temporary resident of Western WA state, I can definitely say , PNW oysters are amazing! My Southern friends would get mad and state otherwise about how possibly could PNW oysters be better than Gulf oysters fed from the Mississippi river. Cold rich waters are the difference friends! People stating gulf oysters are better Just haven’t tried PNW oysters. I’ll be doing another smoked oyster video on my Pellet smoker and definitely some oyster stew. Thanks for the Video bro, it makes me miss the pnw, except for the effing rain!
I have not. I have heard Vibrio is like the absolute worst form of food poisoning. I stop slurping after April personally, and don't like to slurp them if I don't know the chain of custody. (they should always be on ice IMO if taken off the beach).
we dont mind one bit if you catch or cook the same way twice bro, just share your fun! Great vid!
thank you so much Mark! It was a beautiful sunny day out there.

You've got summer dreaming now! And totally here you. I always buy some in-shell once or twice a year just to huck em on the grill.
Grilled oysters in the shell are the best, the way they steam in their own brine makes them so delicious.

Nice Mike! Sounds like maybe you don't have to shuck em on the beach tho? I mayyyy take that trade.

Great slurp and cook video Blake! Wish I could still eat oysters. That propane torch you have is awesome!
Thank you Jerry!! I do love that torch.
Good to see you and thanks for the recipe. Yummm...
thank you Brian! I super appreciate it.

I'll send over all my bacon ASA... Heyyyy. You almost had me fooled Gary! Ha ha, thanks a ton for the comment.
clever lol
What!? Gloves this time haha Great recipe!
ha ha, thanks Sam!
ALL oysters from Washington are good, but Willapa Bay oysters (Pacific) for the win with Oysterville oysters (also pacific) coming in a close second.
that's awesome-- thank you Klickitat! For me it's Hood Canal FTW, but Willapa is a famous oyster growing area for a reason!
My home is the oyster bay, but I've never got into them the way I am clams. Glad you enjoyed them, love that beach.
very cool Ron! It is a great spot.
I love a catch and cook! You should do one on horse clams, I love digging them but struggle on how to cook them.
oyster straight from the beach is the best!! i never heard of the Angels on Horseback....gotta try it for myself !

Thank you GnG! Thank you for your seasoned opinion and I look forward to your smoked oyster vid!
Yea, that's what I'm talking about they looked delicious.
Those oysters looked mighty tasty. To bad we can't go to Chicos and get the smoked oyster pizza anymore. 😂 I have a feeling yours taste better😂
This place is epic!!!!!!🤩
Toothpick is a very important ingredient 👍
thanks Johnny! I've noticed they have kind of a... woody aftertaste.
Yum! I am gonna try and make! 🤙🏽
Hey blake have you ever gotten sick from eating raw oysters. A friend of mine did and they were miserable
I have not. I have heard Vibrio is like the absolute worst form of food poisoning. I stop slurping after April personally, and don't like to slurp them if I don't know the chain of custody. (they should always be on ice IMO if taken off the beach).
Listen, we dont pay good money to watch these videos for you to be taking time off 2-3 weeks at a time, cmon meow! 🤣
Lolz I have a good one in the can too! I'll try to get it out soon! (Video editing gets harder when it's nice out).
