19 Oyster Recipes That Rival Eating Them Raw

You don’t really need a Rolodex of oyster recipes. Just slurp them raw! Douse them in lemon juice and knock them back like tiny briny shots of bliss! While this method is all well and good, frying, grilling, or stewing oysters takes them to a whole other dimension. We’re talking about broiled oysters dusted with buttery, garlic-laced breadcrumbs. These crispy, golden saltine-crusted beauties. Or this teetering, texturally sublime fried B.O.L.T (bacon, oyster, lettuce, tomato) sandwich. Whether you’re team raw or not, these oyster recipes will help your mollusks shine bright like the ocean jewels they are.
