DADDY MACK'S OYSTERS
This is concoction was developed by my buddy and I during a block party. We had people standing in line. Be sure to use leather gloves when shucking hot oysters. Sounds like a pain, but well worth the work.

Tips
- To make sure your oysters are fresh, look for ones that are tightly closed. If an oyster is open, tap it gently. If it closes, it's still alive and good to eat.
- When shucking oysters, be careful not to cut yourself on the oyster's shell. Use a sharp knife and hold the oyster firmly in place.
- If you're not sure how to shuck an oyster, you can ask your fishmonger to do it for you.
- Oysters can be eaten raw, cooked, or smoked. If you're eating them raw, be sure to mignonette sauce or lemon juice.
- Cooked oysters can be grilled, roasted, fried, or steamed. They can also be added to soups, stews, and casseroles.
- Smoked oysters are a great way to add flavor to salads, sandwiches, and dips.
Conclusion
Oysters are a delicious and nutritious seafood that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're eating them raw, cooked, or smoked, be sure to enjoy them fresh and in moderation.
