Oysters And Mushrooms
24 Isle of Skye oysters, off the shell
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
seasonings to taste

Oysters Au Gratin Baked
24 Isle of Skye oysters, on the half shell
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon pepper
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 cup Swiss cheese, grated
Season the oysters with the pepper. Place oysters in a roasting pan. On each oyster spread some ketchup sauce. Sprinkle with grated cheese, and on top place a piece of butter. Put roasting pan in hot oven, and bake until brown. Then serve.
Barbecued Oysters
Prepare barbecue or grill. Place oysters on ungreased barbecue or grill 4inches from hot coals or heat element. Be sure oysters are rounded side down so they cook in their own juices. If using a barbecue with a hood, lower the hood. If using a grill, loosely cover oysters with a tent of aluminum foil. Cook 7 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the oysters. Do not turn oysters during cooking. Shells may open slightly when oysters are done, but not always. Look for steam or bubbles around the fluted edges as a signal that they are ready.
