Baked Oysters
Select large oysters and wash their shells thoroughly by scrubbing with a brush. Place the oysters in a baking pan in a very hot oven, bake until the shells open, remove the upper shells, add a little butter, salt and pepper to each oyster, and serve in the under shells.
ROAST OYSTERS (Fulton Market Style) - This is a famous New York way of serving oysters on the shell. For one person six oysters are usually served. Wash and dry them, place on a broiler, with the deep shell undermost, and roast in a moderate oven. They will be done two minutes after their shells open. Save the juice, keep it hot and serve in a cup with the oysters. Season with butter and pepper.
