The dish is prepared by shucking fresh oysters, wrapping them in bacon, and grilling them on wooden planks. The result is a smoky, sizzling, and savory seafood delight. Although a bit high in calories and fat, the dish comes with a healthy serving of vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. Best served with cool raw tomatoes and hot mashed potatoes, planked oysters are perfect for a BBQ party or a beach hangout with your friends and family.
