I am wanting to make some oyster shooters for new years eve party. Has anyone ever used canned oysters? Also may make some Rockerfellers.
I think there's some confusion here.
Canned oysters are always cooked never raw.
Raw oysters are only sold in the shell in mesh bags or already shucked in plastic tubs.
Drat. S&P popped my daydream. Here I thought he had a secret tributary that went direct from Montana to the Pacific. And all this time all he has to do is row a boat to Walmart's parking lot. Well, his seafood dishes always look like good eating and pictures.
I like oysters Rockefeller and canned smoked oysters speared with a toothpick. Haven't had the latter in eons, so couldn't say where they originate.
We only get fresh local oysters here on Vancouver Island. Mainly from Fanny Bay and from Salt Spring Island but some come from the Powell River area.That is funny, I can by fresh oysters by the case.

Shucked or shelled?

They are sold in large restaurant quantities in hemp gunny sacks.
In the local stores you can buy them in small plastic mesh bags or already shucked in small plastic tubs.
I never said they couldn't be bought other ways. I simply noted how they are sold around here pal.Good for you! We are not all from your location. Blue points are the most readily available in our region. They can be bought as you describe, or by the case. Just because they are sold a certain way in your locale, doesn't mean that is the only way they can be bought.

You're right. I should have included "around here" in my post.Actually, you said:

Are there raw shucked oysters available in cans. Cans as in Campbell soup?
