Fresh caught oysters can be cooked by shucking them, and then grilling, frying or baking them. Grilled oysters can be done by placing them on a hot grill, and adding butter, garlic and other flavorings. Fried oysters can be breaded with flour, egg and panko breadcrumbs, then deep-fried in oil until golden brown. Baked oysters can be placed on a bed of rock salt, and then topped with various toppings such as herbs, breadcrumbs, and cheese. Cooking time will depend on the method used but should be brief as oysters can become tough and rubbery if overcooked.
