Put bread crumbs in a separate shallow dish and thoroughly mix in Parmesan cheese and seasonings, to taste. Sprinkle with hot sauce and eat. Chase with beer. Serves 6 to 8. Practice will help eliminate bad experiences if you're doing it for a first time sampler.
Some people prefer to parboil oysters before cooking.
Parboil, drain and rinse. Let cool and then slice each oyster and follow the tenderizing instructions. Remember, parboiling is partially cooking so your final cooking time will have to be reduced to prevent over-cooking. Reduced cooking time may not result in a golden brown coating. I personally don't parboil - I prefer perfectly cooked with a golden brown crust.
