[TD=class: wysiwyg_table_wysiwyg_table_td1]Yesterday's lunch fare... There's a guy that has a small ceviche and fresh oysters & clams booth at the Monterey Peninsula College Farmer's Market every Friday. Its become my 'must have' every Friday. For me I always prefer slurping the bivalves raw...the clams are like a candy dessert(!); but the little lady likes them BBQ'd so every once in a while I oblige her .

I BBQ them a myriad of ways but this time did a pseudo Rockefeller version using chopped spinach, prosciutto and a splash of Pernod and then topped with grated parmesan cheese. With a little chopped smoked habanero the BBQ'd oysters and clams were tolerable We've also done this by stopping at Hog Island Oyster Co in Marshall on our way to a oyster feed frenzy camp-out on the north coast of California...so its something we actually do when camping too...not on the KK though hahaha [/TD]

Try doing oysters Louisiana style (they call them BBQ, but it's not what you think!) Look up Drago's on the internet to get the story and recipe. But beware, I've done them on the KK and with all that butter and cheese, you get massive flare-ups. So wear long mitts and have long tongs, too! Or you could risk losing some arm hair!

There are several posts in the Seafood area about them. There's one version of the recipe in the Post titled: "char-broiled oysters! New Orleans style!!"

Here's a video about the restaurant from the food network:

Hmmm and mmm...oysters slathered in garlic butter and flamed. Will try!

Having eaten them at Drago's in both Metairie and New Orleans, in addition to making them at home, I can say that they definitely live up to all the hype! You will enjoy them, just make sure that you make several dozen!!
