pre-shucked oysters

UNTIL recently, if you asked me for my favorite ways to eat oysters, I would have said, raw, raw and fried. (Sometimes they’re good in a stew, but usually they get lost there.)

The problem with raw oysters, though, is that you have to either shuck them yourself — for most of us this means risking limb if not life — or pay two bucks each for them, which gets pretty pricey.

Though I still believe that the only way to eat really good oysters — fresh ones, from cold water — is raw, I’ve finally found a way to use common pre-shucked oysters that I actually enjoy.
