Smoked West Coast Oyster

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. For each large oyster, make a cure of 1 tablespoon each soy sauce and canola oil and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Be sure to use huge West Coast oysters (Gigas). We shuck them, brush on the cure, and then smoke them on their bottom shell in heavy smoke until they register a core temperature of 140°F (60°C).
