How to choose fresh and delicious oysters
- To make a delicious grilled oyster dish, you should choose oysters that are still in their shells or oysters that have been shucked but not separated from the meat and still contain seawater.
- Prioritize buying short, round oysters that are not too big and have a tip; these are the oysters that have more meat.
- Choose oysters that are tightly closed; when you lift them and shake, you should hear a sound. If there is no sound, then the oyster is dead.
- For oysters still in their shells, you should buy them and ask the seller to pry them open because oyster shells are very hard to separate; you just need to buy them and do a quick preparation.
- For shucked oysters, you should choose those with the oyster meat firmly attached and filling the shell; these are the oysters that have just been pried open or haven’t been stored for long.
- Avoid choosing oysters that can easily be separated from the shell by hand or shucked oysters that are dry; these are dead oysters or have been stored for too long.
Where to buy cheese?
- You can easily buy cheese at food stores, grocery stores, and supermarkets. You can also purchase cheese at reputable stores such as TasteVN or order from the website bachhoaxanh.com.
- When buying, remember to pay attention to the packaging and expiration date!

Preparing Oysters
After purchasing the oysters, use a brush to scrub and rinse them under running water, especially the mouth of the oyster, to wash away all the dirt thoroughly.
Once the oysters are clean and free of dirt, rinse them again with clean water and let them drain.
To make it easier to open the oyster shells, briefly blanch the oysters in boiling water for about 2 – 3 minutes, then pour them out, let the oysters cool, and use a knife to separate the oysters from their shells.
Boiling water will cause the oysters to naturally open, making it easy to separate the oyster shells. Be careful, as the oyster shells are very hot, so let them cool a bit to avoid burns.
Quick and Simple Ways to Open Oyster Shells: You can open oyster shells using one of the following methods- Method 1: You can grill the oysters over a fire for about 3 minutes until the oyster shells naturally open. At this point, let them cool a bit, then separate the shells.
- Method 2: Use a pair of scissors to cut the edge of the oyster shell about 1 cm to create a gap, then use the tip of the scissors to press against the top edge, insert it into the gap and apply force to pry the oyster shell open. Then, scrub the oysters thoroughly.

Grill cheese oysters
Place the oysters on a grilling rack (the oysters will taste better when grilled with charcoal) until the oyster meat tightens and shrinks, then add a sufficient amount of cheese sauce on top of the oysters.
Grill for an additional 3 – 5 minutes until the oysters are cooked through and the cheese sauce is thicker and has a characteristic aroma.
Note: Do not grill oysters directly on a gas stove as it may cause the oyster shells to explode, which is very dangerous!

Final product
The light salty flavor of the oysters combined with the creamy cheese sauce creates an irresistible dish. Oysters taste better when served hot!
