Health benefits of A Bulls Bay Oyster Roast

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

2 cups ketchup
2 to 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons horseradish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon vinegar
Hot sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bushel Bulls Bay cluster oysters, washed of mud
Saltines, for serving

Instructions

For the cocktail sauce: Mix together the ketchup, Worcestershire, horseradish, lemon juice and vinegar. Add hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste. For the oysters: Build a very hot fire using hardwoods in the fire box of an oyster cooker. Once you have a good bed of coals, place the cooker over the fire box. Heat for 5 minutes. Test for heat by sprinkling water on the surface. If it sizzles immediately, you are ready to cook. Place the clean oysters evenly in the center of the steel cooking pan. Cover with burlap sacks and let cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Lift a corner of the burlap to check the oysters. You should hear them "popping" when you listen carefully. If they are beginning to open, uncover them and scoop them from the cooking surface with a large, flat shovel. Place them on a table with oyster knives and towels or gloves and dig in! Serve with the cocktail sauce and saltines. This recipe was provided by a chef, restaurant or culinary professional and makes a large quantity.

NotesIf you don't have a Bulls Bay oyster cooker, you can build a fire directly on the ground and place four concrete blocks around it. Create your cooking surface by placing a piece of plate steel directly over the blocks. Continue cooking the oysters as directed above.
