How to choose fresh oysters
- For whole oysters, you should choose those with a conical shell shape, slightly round or oval shape with shells that are bulging and tightly closed as these oysters will have more meat.
- For shucked oysters, you should choose those with firm meat that fills the shell, the meat should be fresh, not slimy or discolored.
- Avoid buying oysters that are easy to shuck, have dry meat, and show veining in the oyster’s guts as these are dead oysters or have been stored for too long, no longer fresh.
- Do not choose oysters that have a greenish meat as they are egg-laden oysters, which will taste bitter and not good.

How to prepare grilled oysters using an electric grill

Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing the whole oysters, soak them in a basin of water for about 10 – 20 minutes so that the sand and dirt sticking to the oyster shells can loosen, then use a brush to clean off all the mud and dirt remaining on the oyster shells. After that, rinse the oysters with clean water and let them drain.
Place a pot of water on the stove, bring it to a boil, then add the oysters to boil or steam for about 5 minutes. When the oysters open, remove them, separate the shells, and place them on a ceramic plate.

Make the onion oil
Place a pan on the stove, add 4 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan and heat it until hot. When you insert a wooden chopstick into the pan and see bubbles forming in the oil, it’s ready.
Next, add the thinly sliced purple onion to fry until the onion is nearly golden, then add the chopped small onion, seasoning with a little salt and sugar before transferring it to a bowl.

Grilling oysters with an electric grill
You plug in the grill to activate it and then adjust the temperature to a moderate level. After that, you place the oysters on the grill and use a spoon to drizzle a little bit of the scallion oil mixture over each oyster.
When the oil in the scallion mixture gently bubbles and the oyster meat is just cooked, you use tongs to take the oysters out onto a plate, sprinkle a little crushed peanuts on top, and it’s done.
