Dinners not ready yet. Your making me hungery. I could have hooked you up with some fresh gulf oysters But not cheap..the shipping is high/overnight/dryice. But needed more time than 3 days. good luck. Good idea YUM.

MGV Yes I very much like my oysters growing off of trees.:D

[MGV]

i can see it now. Picking them like a fruit on a tree.:)

We ended up getting some nice ones close to home. We went to the Zeeland D & W. Thanks again for the places.

MGV,

So what did you make with your oysters? We get together every Christmas Eve and make Oyster soup. Just boil the oysters in their juice, when done add whole milk, butter, and garlic salt and pepper to taste. Yum...Yum! Gotta love it!

My Grandma breads them and fries them up. I am not sure if she puts anything else with them besides that. Either way they are the fastest thing gone on the table.

MGV, Whats the recipe for frying the oysters? Sounds good.

[MGV]

Nothing fancy. She gets the old frying pan out. She takes a egg and breaks it in a bowl. In another bowl i believe she gets crackers crumbled, salt, pepper and maybe a little bisquick. basically what ever spices coating you want you can throw in with the crackers. A easyier way is throw them in a plastic bag and shake them. I use this same way for fish, rabbits and squirrel. I will fry them and then put them in the oven at 300 until falling off the bone.

My mouth is watering explaining this.:)
