smoking Smoked Oysters?

[Roguejim]

Anyone tried to smoke oysters? What was your process?

Only from a can... never tried making them myself. Curious to see...

Yes, easy peezy, like most seafood they do not take long. If I recall I think I did mine in like 30 minutes to an hour at 225 and put them in a fine mesh roasting basket.

I prefer cigars.

Brined?

Nah, I buy oysters in the shell and shuck them or buy the ones already shucked in their own juices..not in water
 
 
If you want just a little bit of smoke try this method first, get fresh oysters in the shell and shuck them, leave them on the 1/2 shell and smoke them that way. That is probably my favorite way to do them outside of raw or frying other than roasting them on the grill in the shell under a wet burlap sack

Sounds good JHP, I need to start doing more BBQ seafood, had a crack at doing some jumbo
Tiger prawns with some meat church rub, they turned out awesome
