My mother made oyster stew every Christmas Eve. I couldn't gag it
down so I got my oysters raw in a dish with a bit of vinegar and salt
and pepper. That was good. Now I can't seem to eat oysters in any
fashion. I think it is because the only ones out here come in
refrigerated jars. ewwww

Even fresh water fish is better from cold water. There used to be a
trout farm near here. They tasted a little muddy in the summer but in
the winter they were much better.

That is something I have thought about but discounted when I heard the
price. My friend's family chipped in and bought him a skydiving
experience as a retirement experience. Having been an airline pilot for
more than 30 years he had a hard time with the thought of jumping out of
a plane. He enjoyed it, but he said he isn't going to spend that kind
of money for a few minutes of fun.

My father was a member of the Caterpillar Club, those who had saved
survived by bailing out of a disabled plane. Their plane was shot down
and he was the only one who got out. The parachute opened just seconds
before he landed in a freshly plowed field, and he hit the ground just
about the same time the plane did.

I have not had raw oysters in a while, but I do like them. They are like
a tonic. I always feel really good within minutes of eating them. When
we were first married we often ate smoked oysters. We ate them so often
that I got tired of them and did not eat them for years. A couple years
ago I gave them a try again. They are still good. I might buy them more
often if they came in a can with only a half dozen.

Lightly used and my idea posted didnt use it on the scallops.

I guess I am sorry I posted ideas at all now since they got very mixed
up from what i said.

Well apparently there was confusion and now I am sorry I even answered
the post. A few pinches of Tumeric is now some bitter over the top
thing to color a white sauce.

That depends on your mom's recipe. I've got a good one.
Refridgerated oysters are ok now as long as you get them
with a few days of packing date.
Personally, other than at a restaurant, I've always killed my
oysters. Either ones I harvested or nowadays from the local
fish market. He's the only one nearby left so I try to support
him.

I went to a friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner one year back
in the mid-70s. His wife made an oyster stuffing for the turkey.
Best darn stuffing I ever even dreamed of. The next year I cooked
my own turkey and made an oyster stuffing. No recipe, no
cookbooks that had that, and no internet to look it up.

It was a fail....way too much oyster taste. Turns out I should
have used the oyster meat only and not all the liquid/liquer from
the shells. I should have asked first but hey...live and learn.

I looked that up and sounds good to me. My only concern was
cooking long enough to cook the bacon. That would over-cook the
oysters. I would have cut the bacon and cooked that to almost
done before adding it to the oysters, then in oven.

Same thing when I read about people wrapping raw bacon around a
shrimp. By time that bacon is cooked the shrimp is WAY
overcooked.

Maybe the trick is to get much larger shrimp which will take longer to
cook, make sure that the shrimp is completely wrapped so that the heat
has to get through the bacon to the shrimp. I remember about 30 years
ago a lot of restaurants were doing a similar dish with scallops. Those
suckers cook even faster than shrimp. Despite being over cooked, they
were pretty good.

Agreed, I cook the bacon first.

Better still, don't use bacon in the first place. Its strong flavour
overpowers the delicate sweetness of the shellfish.

Sorry, but I have to say that, mild or not, scallops or shrimp wrapped
in bacon, brushed with BBQ sauce and grilled are delicious.

Bacon would overpower the scallops to no end.

dSure they are, but it overwhelms the scallops. It woult taste about
the same with a cheap filler instead. Had scallops tonight, no bacon!

No, but it's common here. I always think it's for people who don't
really like oysters.

food.
