Planning to get a bushel of oysters to steam and smoke them. Going to use two webbers (18" and 22") to steam them, and a UDS to smoke them.
Does anyone have any experience doing that? Couple of questions:
What the best way to smoke them?
A. Steam>shuck>throw on the UDS?
B. Throw on UDS>shuck>throw back on UDS
C. Shuck (not sure how hard to shuck raw oysters)>throw on UDS - will gladly take shucking tips as well
D. Your suggestions?
What temp should I run the UDS for? How long should i smoke them (depending on method)? What method should i use? Any other tips?
To make sure Oysters are steamed yet are still hot and fresh when the guest arive what is the best idea for that? Figure should take 10-15 minutes to steam them on hot coals? When done, maybe wrap in foil with some liquid (shucked, throw on low on the gasser- to stay warm)?
And of coarse this leads into cocktail sauce questions, i know its just catchup and horseradish, but wondering if anyone has any other ideas (don't want to make it too hot). Also, if somebody has a good flavored butter idea or any other dipping sauce, i am all ears
Also thinking of doing crab cakes, so if anyone has a good recipe would like that too - probably going to pan fry them - unless somebody has a better idea?
Long story short, help me make this into a kick @$$ seafood fare! :clap2: Thanks in advance!
