Fried Catfish Filet Sandwiches - Crescent City Farmers Market

Saturday, (April 29). Market vendor and Croatian Oyster Man Roko Tvrdeic of Roko's Oysters from Empire, La. will cook up Charbroiled Oysters in the tradition of Drago's.

Recipe is almost exactly the same as Drago's but varies slightly to include market vendor Papa Tom Bonnecaze's creole seasoning.

36 raw opened oysters on the half shell (large)
1 pound butter or margarine
2 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon Papa Tom's creole seasoning
1/2 teaspoon parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon romano cheese
1/2 teaspoon parsley

Mix butter or margarine with creole seasonings and garlic in pan. Put oysters on the BBQ grill. Spoon butter mixture over oysters, then put a pinch of the cheeses and parsley on each oyster. Let them cook until the oysters have puffed-up appearance.
