Saturday night we were fortunate enough to be invited to an oyster roast. These oysters came fresh from the Carolina coast and boy were they delicious! This is how I build mine:
Cracker
Oyster
Squeeze of Lemon
Drop of Louisiana Hot Sauce
Just Enough Fresh Ground Horseradish not to make me cry
I don't even know how many I wound up eating. We get steamed oysters so rarely, they are treat when we do get them. Of course you can go to a hand full of local restaurants and eat them, but they aren't the same as cooking them yourself fresh out of the ocean.
Did I mention I love me some steamed oysters?

Oh man, I shouldn't have looked. These make my mouth water. And the next oyster roast I'll be attending isn't until after Christmas. Maybe I'll have to have my own. Yum. Yum. Yum.
A gal after my own heart. I love fresh Bulls Bay oysters from Awendah, SC about 30 mi N of Charleston, best kept secret in the area. Several years ago I was traveling S on 17 and my friend had to potty, so I spotted what looked like an old time filling station so I pulled around the side where the restrooms were located. As I sat there I began to smell some wonderful cooking odors coming from this old store. After further in investigation I found it to be a remodeled country store turned into a restaurant. Church was letting out and the parking lot was starting to fill. We went in and had had the most wonderful low country meal I've ever had! Fresh She-Crab soup(yum),so many fresh veggies I can't begin to name them all and then A pile of steamed Bull's Bay Oysters piled high on a Coca~Cola crate. We ate til we could not move. Even took our friends in Charleston some She- Crab soup to go. The name escapes me, but the secret has to be out by now. If you're in that neck of the woods you owe yourself a stop at this little jewel in Awendah, SC just south of Cape Romain Natl Seashore below McClellanville, SC
