Additional information :
Substitution: If you can't locate raw oysters, substitute 2 cans (each 133 g) whole oysters. Don't marinate them; simply brush them with marinade while grilling.
Tip: If your oysters are very big, use 2 parallel skewers to hold them in place on the grill. Look for shucked oysters in containers in the fish section of your supermarket or shuck your own if not available.
