The best steamed oysters I've ever had were at our men's Bible class annual oyster roast. It was held at the local Coca-Cola plant, where they'd disconnect the boiler used for steam cleaning the bottles and connect it to a home made a pipe manifold to. A large hole had been made in the sides of galvanized garbage cans and an expanded metal rack placed in the bottom. The cans were placed on the manifold, partially filled with oysters, and then blasted with superheated steam. They were done in only a couple of minutes. We ate on wooden pallets placed atop of Coke syrup barrels.

I love them in coastal areas. Kind of scared to eat them in Arkansas.

I will eat them grilled year round but most places want $30 for a dozen oysters. Wtf? In the winter I will eat them raw on a cracker with hot sauce because a local place has $1 oysters at happy hour.
