Does grilling shellfish stink up your grill?
I had grilled oysters at a new French bistro by me and want to grill oysters at home now.
I never grilled shellfish before because I’m concerned about the liquor spilling and stinking up the grill. Anyone have that happen, or am I worrying about nothing. I only hose my grill out once a year. Perhaps I can grill them in a disposable aluminum pan. Here is what they served, they were very good. Lemon-herb butter Grilled oysters piperade, pimente d’espelette

If they're big enough to straddle the grill you don't need a pan. Handle them with gloves instead of tongs so they don't spill. Smaller ones should go in a pan. Some people put a bed of rice or rock salt under them to keep them level. It only takes a few minutes.

Don't spill them when you pick them up and you should be good to go. Don't overcook either.

Not a fan of raw oysters but really liking the idea of grilled. Grilled lemon is great.
Never had an issue with either fish or shellfish leaving an after smell/taste in the grill. The microwave is another story.

I grill a lot of seafood, never had a problem. Fire cleanses. You do need to clean the damn thing now and then though, the people who call grease, grime, creosote seasoning, run away from them.

This topic has been discussed for years, and I can't recall any carry-over flavor after grilling seafood.

I do them on the kettle. Usually the ash acts as a drying agent for anything that spills and I've never noticed an after smell.

I've grilled oytsters occasionally on my BGE, and shrimp in regular rotation. No issues with it funking it up.
