oyster roasts
Coastal bivalve gatherings
Oyster roasts are social gatherings, common in coastal Southern communities, where oysters are cooked over an open fire or steamer and eaten communally.
The oysters are typically shoveled onto a large table, and guests shuck and eat them on the spot, often with beer, hush puppies, and coleslaw.
We went to an oyster roast down at the beach house.
