RECIPE

Select large oysters; wash and wipe them, and place with the upper or deep shell down, to catch the juice, over or on live coals. When they open their shells, remove the shallow one being careful to save all the juice in the other; place them, shells and all, on a hot platter, and send to table hot, to be seasoned by each person with butter and pepper to taste.

If the oysters are fine, and they are just cooked enough and served all hot, this is, par excellence, the style.
