Recipes

We love our oysters cold, raw, and naked.  But sometimes we like to shake things up a bit.  Here’s a couple of our favorite ways to dress up oysters.

Blue, Bacon, & Bivalve

This treat of a recipe is meant for the barbeque grill and much of it can be prepared ahead of time.

Ingredients needed: oysters, bluda cheese, cooked bacon, and hot sauce.

  1. First cook up some bacon.  You’ll use a small piece on each oyster, so 3 slices of bacon for a dozen oysters will do it.
  2. Grate the bluda cheese so you have a least a teaspoon per oyster – be generous!
  3. Shuck the oysters, put them on a plate without spilling the oyster’s liquor.
  4. Dress the oysters in this order: Bacon > cheese > hot sauce
  5. Using tongs, carefully put the oysters on a hot grill, close the cover and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling.
  6. Alternatively oysters can be broiled in an oven until cheese is bubbling.

Oysters Rockefeller

  1.  Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. In a skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, then remove and chop into small pieces.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic in garlic oil until fragrant.
  4. Add a few drops of Tabasco sauce and stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until melted.
  5. Place the Cascumpec Bay Oysters on a baking dish and spoon the cheese mixture over each oyster.
  6. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  7. Serve hot as an appetizer or over a bed of spinach as a main dish

Traditional Mignonette

This sauce you’ll find at most oyster bars and for good reason! It goes great with raw oysters.

Ingredients needed: Red wine vinegar, Shallot, and cracked pepper

  • Simply mix together a ¼ cup of red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of finely minced shallot, and cracked pepper and let sit in refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow shallots to marinate and let the sauce thicken.
