About to head to the pacific coast in a little over a day. I've got all the supplies needed to cook em.

Oyster shucking knives
Strainer
Pan
Pot
Electric hot plate
Scissors


Just curious if anyone has cooked any themselves before and if you did a fry just in oil, if you breaded them, which seasonings/toppings I.E. salt/pepper/lemon etc.

I'm fairly nervous trying to cook them for the first time but I do have to catch them first hehe.

Just looking for some tips and tricks. I might not see in a random youtube video.
I know to open the zipper, cut off the siphon tip, remove the guts, seperate the digger etc but that's about it.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

I don't have experience with them, however I believe you should probably boil them first, before frying, because they appear to be quite thick. You want to make sure they are thoroughly cooked before you eat them.

Cant go wrong with butter, garlic, salt, pepper

i don't eat seafood
