I live near Apalachicola and these are absolutely the best southeastern oysters around. Will definitely try your recipe! Just this past weekend, I had a friend visiting from Albuquerque (tho we both grew up in Tampa Bay) and our goal was to eat as many oysters as many ways as possible in four days. Cooked some at home (fried, I know not the healthiest but sooooooooo good) and the rest were eaten at Papa Joe’s and Boss Oyster in Apalach. Raw, steamed, broiled with parmesan and garlic, roasted and in oyster stew. Mouth watering yet?

I lived in a little town called Knysna for a couple of years and they are renowned for their oysters. That is where \i learned to eat these gems from the sea. I love your sauce though – new to me…

Peter — Thanks for the inspiration!

Donal — Thanks, they were tasty, too

Mary — I like the brininess and crispness of cold water oysters, but as far as the Gulf of Mexico goes, these were really, really good. In July, too!

Apalach oysters are wonderful. How lucky you are to have some! This sounds wonderful. Love the idea of the sesame oil with them.
Great blog, by the way!
