I haven't made this in a long time. You might try Pike Place Fish Market Store - Order Fresh Prawns, Clams, Oysters & Scallops Shipped Overnight for West Coast oysters. I don't recall seeing them at Whole Foods. The key for oysters is getting them alive. You may also consider buying a couple of dozen from McCormicks and Schmidts. They'll charge you retail prices but they usually have a good selection.

I looked at Pike Place. They sell a pound for 5.99 but want like 65.00 to ship it overnight. I did call Whole Foods and they said they do have them and they are .99 each. I think I am going to pick up a dozen or so and see how I like them. I am not sure if anyone else likes Oysters on the Half Shell but I love them.

Make sure they are alive when you buy them and store them in the fridge with a damp towel over the top to keep them alive. Don't schuck or kill them until ready to use.

I did the following at a contest that had an oyster category, took 3rd. For the contest i did them on a kettle . I basically skipped step 1 and just cleaned and shucked them then cooked them on the grill

* 48 fresh, unopened oysters
* 1 1/2 cups beer
* 2 cloves garlic
* seasoned salt to taste
* 7 black peppercorns
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 onion, chopped
* 1 clove garlic, crushed
* 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
* 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
* 8 ounces fontina cheese, shredded
* 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
* 1/2 cup milk
* 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
* 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 2 tablespoons fine bread crumbs




1. Clean oysters, and place in a large stockpot. Pour in beer and enough water to cover oysters; add 2 cloves garlic, seasoned salt, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, drain, and cool.
2. Once oysters are cooled, break off and discard the top shell. Arrange the oysters on a baking sheet. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)
3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in butter until soft. Reduce heat to low, and stir in spinach, Monterey Jack, fontina, and mozzarella. Cook until cheese melts, stirring frequently. Stir in the milk, and season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over each oyster, just filling the shell. Sprinkle with bread crumbs.
4. Bake until golden and bubbly, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
