Ostiones

As misplaced Alaskans, we have never lost of appetite for seafood or our thrill of adventure. We have been eating oysters in Mexico for 20 years. A few raw, but only when we have harvested them ourselves in clean water. The cost is usually excellent and we only purchase them from road side shacks were there are several people already partaking of these tender bi valves. After copious amounts of scrubbing we just put the little gems on a hot hot grill and wait for them to pop open, then serve them with drawn butter laced with salt, garlic and a splash of Valentina's.

Here is our friend Bill checking on our dinner. This was just one of the 2 batches we cooked. The cost for 50 oysters came to around 10 USD. We should have gotten more.

  2. Gawd, that's some good eating.
    Had a little place in Bacliff TX that served them like that at the Bar, Babs of SMA probably remembers the name of the place....and also,
    the annual OysterBake at St Mary's University in San Antonio Texas served up millions in this estilo.
    You guys know how to eat!
