A Trip to the Bodega Bay Oyster Company~How to BBQ Oysters~Easy Grilled Oysters

In this video, I visit the Bodega Bay Oyster Company and buy some large oysters to cook on the BBQ grill. These fresh, live oysters, turned out excellent, on my Weber charcoal grill. Fresh oysters, in the shell, are delicious grilled this way and topped with a variety of sauces.

Great video! It's always nice to hear of (or see in this case) someone enjoying our shellfish.

Such a chiller❤

[@Juanelo1946]

Jim, I'm crazy about oysters! I've tried deep frying shucked oysters, but I never grilled them whole. These look wonderful with the various sauces! The Bodega Bay Oyster Co. owes you big time! Great show!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+Juanelo1946 Thanks John! They're really good this way. I had a lot of fun making this video!

[@joshualaw1214]

Wow that looks delicious! Never tried grilled oysters before, may have to give it a go.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+Joshua Law Thanks! If you try them, I don't think you'll be disappointed!

[@Kimmie0323]

Those look great! Down south we usually open ours first. Put on the butter and garlic then grill.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+Kim Mozingo Thanks! That's interesting. Putting them on the grill whole and letting the heat open them is the way I've seen most people do it around here. Either way they're tasty!

[@1OFGODSOWN]

I live in Florida and we let the heat from the grill open them? I have never heard of opening them the way you mentioned?

[@horaciocampos785]

I like them raw. Fresh out of the ice

[@runfst23]

@@1OFGODSOWN right forget shucking them, way too much work

[@1OFGODSOWN]

@@runfst23 I prefer them RAW or just getting them Hot enough to open them and they are ready to eat.No sauce of any kind wanted or needed.👍

[@lemoncrinckles]

Look tasty, Jim, especially the butter ones. Years ago I had deep fried oysters and loved them. Didn't know you could grill them. Good job!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+lemoncrinckles Thanks! Yeah, they are really good on the grill!

[@regiopazzo]

Awesome! Gonna try this today! My wife and I love them raw but my sis is pregnant and can’t eat them raw so this is a great way for her to be able to enjoy them during her pregnancy. Thanks for the great video!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@johnathanboyd5506]

This is just about the best way to eat them 🤤 minus the bbq, hot sauce only a saltine cracker is good with them as well

[@BigLove101]

Gr8 video. I could eat a hundred of those oysters.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks! They're pretty tasty!

[@NoHippieBBQCooking]

[@za-radyvine8216]

I looove my oysters with tapatio and lime 🔥

[@jonathanrobertson3406]

Top Notch Tinman. Just made these tonight following your guidelines. I prepared a sauteed garlic-lemon butter sauce that I drenched over the half shell once it had opened (while preserving the natural oyster juice) and it was honestly the best oysters I have had. My mom agreed. Oddly, though, there wasn't much a charcoal taste imparted. I chalk that up the to too many coals and the oysters getting done/opening too quickly. Either way. Great technique. Thanks for the video.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thank you! I'm glad you guys enjoyed them!

[@TheBarbecueShow]

Looks like some good eats. I'll go with the butter and garlic ones.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+The Backyard BBQ Show - BBQFOOD4U Thanks! Those were pretty tasty!

[@CookingwithRick]

Hi Jim, that was a cool little store and $ 70.00 that was a lot of clams you spent on those oysters. they looked delicious.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+Cookingwith Rick (Cooking with Rick) Hey Rick, it was 20 dollars, not 70. I like oysters, but not that much. :) Thanks for watching!

[@madisonciowa3920]

Those look great!. Bodega Bay is where " The Birds" was filmed. lol

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+Madison C Iowa Thanks! Yep, my mom remembers seeing them filming a few scenes from The Birds. She lived real close by.

[@luisrrrrrrr]

Oysters for dinner. Coming from Tucson Arizona. I saw Oysters last time I was at the Chinese market but somehow I found this video n now I'm grilling Oysters tonight. Schools out, fuck yeah why not

[@Armadillopepper]

Oysters are one of my favorite foods....little cayenne hot sauce and horseradish to go with those please.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+ArmadilloPepper.com Sounds good! Maybe I should set up a drive thru! :)

[@raas96]

nice video!!! oysters are so delicious. go niners!!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thank you!

[@doublejbbq42]

love oysters, do not cook them to often, might have to try to cook them more often

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+doublejbbq I totally agree with everything you said!

[@MEshaoWords]

Looks good, but do the cup side down so you don’t lose that nectar of the gods!

[@bodhi974]

I’m going to bodega bay next weekend. Going to have to stop by that store.

[@bodhi974]

I stopped by the store today on my way back from Bodega bay. Bought a dozen medium for 24 bucks. Interior has changed a little but still the same merch. If you like hot sauce give Old Bay hot sauce on those bad boys.

[@tayytoolegit]

When u put the lid on did you leave the vent open or closed ?

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Open

[@harryhathaway1086]

My recibe is finely chopped garlic ,Vidalia onion ,red bell pepper.smaked bacon, a mix of Italian bread crumbs and panko crumbs Parmesan cheese Freshly cracked peppercorn, and olive oil Irish butter mix,

Lemon , tapatio and salt

[@randomactsofcooking]

You dirty rat!. Now I want oysters... Never cooked up oysters and now that I know how I'll have to keep an eye out for when they are available around my area down in Fremont, CA. The butter-garlic-parsley ones looked like they would be my favorite.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+Random Acts of Cooking LOL The butter and garlic one's were my favorite too. I enjoyed them all though. I don't think you'll disappointed if you try grilling some!

[@expressm1753]

By any chance did you clean them before throwing them on the grill ?

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

No, just took them straight out of the bag.

[@expressm1753]

It’s the day before the 49ers go to the Super Bowl in 2019, Just so happens I’m looking at this video to make oysters tomorrow

[@harryhathaway1086]

$1.50 Pearl Oyster down where I live is kind of steep especially when they're not in season in the real small.

[@Xguy890]

I Put Aloha Soy sauce and black powder pepper on the oyster...it taste freekn good :)

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Sounds good! Thanks for commenting!

[@ChrisM0678]

Made my mouth water. Quick question, why is it best to toss them if they don't open?

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+Cristian Martinez Because they may have died and went bad.

[@bodegabayoystercompany411]

+Cristian Martinez. Actually the oysters that don't open when barbecued are completely fine to eat. Some of them just seize up and don't relax the muscle when they are cooked. You just have to shuck them open yourself. Quick tip: Shuck the oyster from the hinge side, not from the wide side that opens when cooked. One, it will be easier to get open the ones that didn't open; and two, you won't get as much shell residue in your oyster meat!

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Thanks for the tips! I didn't know that.

[@doublejbbq42]

+Bodega Bay Oyster Company do you sell kusshi oysters

[@bodegabayoystercompany411]

+doublejbbq "Kush" is just the brand name one company made for their Pacific/Miyagi oysters. We sell Miyagis and Kumamotos at our store.

[@OldManCookin]

Well you got my mouth watering.... OH yea..... I love the darn things ..... I eat em raw tho.... :) You will be chasing the little lady around the house tonight... ya know..

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+OldManCooking LOL I have to cook mine. I'm not a fan of raw oysters or sushi!

[@dontspeak__5930]

49ers!

[@Christophersanchez1326]

I guess it doesn't take long to cook them up and open.

[@johnwarren847]

I am the world's expert on charcoal grilling. First lay a FLAT bed of briquettes (never make a pyramid). Second place a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil (never use fuel) on the whole top then light. Third put the seafood on the grill after the paper burns down, 5 minutes. Briquettes will burn slowly and will smoke the seafood or meat to perfection. Seafood will take 30 minutes and meat one hour.

[@bicom9312]

Oyster oyster 🇻🇳

[@ImjustKelly73]

Did you see any BIRDS when you went to Bodega? LOL Do the Oysters cooked that way have a slimy texture still? Curious because I've never had them before. TFS TinMan! :))

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+Kulinary Kreations By Kelly None that attacked me! LOL Yeah, they do have kind of a slimy texture that some people don't like.

[@ImjustKelly73]

TosTinMan EasyCooking Awww! :/ Maybe deep fried is the way for me to try them. What do you think?

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

+Kulinary Kreations By Kelly I don't think I've had them deep fried so I'm not sure.

[@ImjustKelly73]

TosTinMan EasyCooking We should both try them then.

[@orinator1]

Nice video, but an almost criminal waste of oyster liqueur during the opening process.

[@ariantinoyahya726]

you know, in my place its 20 dollar too.. for 10 kilos of oyster....

[@peke4197]

my town oysters are all you can eat with sushi for 8, 36.. ripped you off

[@clayyates2416]

49 cent a piece at kroger

[@sergiojacquez2277]

Thanks for the video, and GO NINERS/GIANTS ####

[@1OFGODSOWN]

You paid $20 for a Dozen Oysters? I can buy them locally for $45 for 100 Large Singles. Very salty and Delicious which is a great price and far better than $20 for just a dozen.

[@TosTinManEasyCooking]

Wow! That's a good deal!

[@sergboxer7785]

bbq sauce? WTF!

[@orinator1]

YES! BBQ sauce and butter is a California coast road food classic.

Dont knock it til you try it
