Basic Banquet Toppers
Banquet oysters are oysters which have had their top shell shucked off, and then are quick frozen and glazed with fresh sea water. Banquet oysters are quick and convenient and can be taken from the freezer to thaw for raw enjoyment. If raw is not your choice, Banquet oysters can be broiled or barbecued with your favourite topping in about 15 mins. For broiling or barbecuing, heat the oven or barbecue to 400. Take the Banquets from the freezer and place on the barbecue or on a cookie sheet for broiling. Heat for about 5 mins until the oysters have thawed. Add your favourite topping and continue cooking for about 10 mins. Serve hot.
