I finally bought a real oyster knife a few years ago. I admit to using a flathead screwdriver, for years, to open oysters. I am from Washington state and was very blessed to have access to fresh oysters! One of my best cooking experiments was cooking oysters on rocks from the beach. It kept the oysters level until they steamed open. I covered them with a lid. Great fun on the beach or over a campfire and a good way for oyster newbies that are skittish about eating raw oysters. Add butter or garlic butter and you might create an oyster fan! For anyone near Olympia, WA, go to the Taylor Shellfish Farms store for oysters or mussels. I love their farmed mussels! Absolutely the best. Bring a cooler and they will top it off with chipped ice for you!
❤ Awesome fail story! We love hearing very relatable humanizing stories. Great job! Now oyster lovers everywhere can have confidence to shuck at home.!❤
I love eating oysters with mignonette, Frank's, straight horse radish and cocktail sauce. Just 4 of the smallest prep bowls with about a tablespoon of each. Pick, change and mix or even plain. Just a touch for something different every oyster
The first oyster you eat, absolutely: go pure. I strongly endorse this. Take some time to taste the thing. But after that, if you want a bit of lemon? You want a bit of horseradish? A splash of tabasco? GO FOR IT. You do you; enjoy. (Personally, I don't recommend cocktail sauce, but that's just me. It's ketchup based, and is very good at killing all other flavors. Similar with the crazy hot sauces; I'm impressed you can handle x-teen cogillian scoville or whatever, but, that just feels like bragging rights. Smash that on its own, or on a wing. Save the oysters for when you want to actually taste an oyster).
I've been shucking oysters for years, but I didn't know that towel trick. No trips to the emergency room yet, but it doesn't hurt to have extra insurance. For me, two drops of lemon juice.
Agreed on no sauce but no lemon?? I LOVE a single drop of lemon on oysters, really enhances the freshness and flavors of the oyster without absolutely bastardizing it like other sauces would
Please with all due respect, you can put oysters on ice 🧊, just put a plastic bag between your oysters and ice. Don't let the water touch the oysters.😮 And 2nd to open the oysters it's best and easier if open from the side. I enjoy my oysters with lemon 🍋 and red Chile 🌶 sauce 😋
Very good review let me share with you a recipe like we rost the chicken they use to rost oster kind of 3 different sources one made from mint another from tomato and kind of vinegar mix with Chelly and on top of that charcoal flavour do you know that
I prefer raw or in an oyster stew, but they are also great cooked on the charcoal or gas grill. Just put them on a hot grill until just after they open. You can keep them on the grill if you want them to harden up but I prefer them just opened.
I know. It gives me the creeps when I hear that. I'm not sure I want to consume anything that has been engineered or hybridized to the point that it can no longer reproduce itself and must depend on "science", like seedless watermelon and seedless grapes.
Gotta be cooked.. boiled (crab seasoning) or roasted on grill or in the oven.. they open right up when done.. add some garlic butter or hot/ wing sauce & crackers & I'm in heaven
My method is simpler, and much more satisfying. I shuck them, and then .. I store them in my mouth. Some time later, I move them from my mouth to my stomach. You really don't want to know what happens to them after that.

Love oysters. I always squeeze a lemon wedge on my oysters. Sometimes i put tabasco on it. Spicey and delicious. Thank you Jack.

i'm from seattle and just opened a dozen using a flathead screwdriver this evening. hahaha
Love everything Jack does
Excellent demo!
Hey, Jack! Come to Sober Island, Nova Scotia for the best oysters on earth!

I so love your recipes in this kitchen 😅
I never thought I would be able to stomach eating a raw oyster. I was in my 50’s before I had the nerve to try. OMG what I had been missing!

If you fold the other end of the towel you can place the oyster on it for more leverage

If you've lived on the Gulf you know the reason to avoid eating raw oysters in months without an "r" is to avoid bacterial contamination.

It's funny when he said "It comes with it's own sauce"... haha!
Love oysters. Thanks, Jack.

Thanks Jack!!
Love love your class lol , thanks
Apparently I have a special filter that prevents oysters from going down my throat and actually repulses them out of my mouth.
Sorry Jack. If I shuck an oyster I pop’em in my mouth so there’s nothing left to store
wonderful!
now do North Carolina oyster roast!!!

Oysters can last for 3 month is you keep the towels damp in the fridge.
I don't like them raw I like them cook do you have a recipe for them
I prefer raw or in an oyster stew, but they are also great cooked on the charcoal or gas grill. Just put them on a hot grill until just after they open. You can keep them on the grill if you want them to harden up but I prefer them just opened.
Eeeeeek. Killed while it was still alive!!!!
They're sterile?
Ok, stupid question... how do they multiply?
So even our oyster Supply is GMO?
My dear, they insemination them like they do other creatures. 😂 but good 👍 questions
@@MyAlbertC If they're truly sterile, then even insemination shouldn't work.

I like a little wishy sauce on mine
Not a fan but please enjoy all you like…thanks for the info tho…🙂

Watching you eat that thing made me gag! The only oysters I’ve ever had in my mouth are the ones I cough up each morning in the shower!
