Oysters, Lobster and Dry Aged Steak for Easter

Today, we shucked abunch of oysters to chargrille them. Julia Child says to clean the shells, so we did. Here they are after the scrubbing:
Went for a little boat ride and took along some fun in a bottle, ssshhhh... don't tell anyone!
Later on, I chargrilled the oysters with garlic butter and romano and parmesan cheese, put some finely chopped asparagus on top of some, and buckboard bacon on top of others:
They were fabulous - here's the empties... one left on the upper right of picture. We then built a pyramid of the shells and made a game of chucking them into the bay... I Won!
I cut some lobster tails almost in half and brushed them in tarragon butter, placed on the egg shell side down, then flipped over for a couple of minutes:
A 2 inch thick dry aged NY strip was next, S & P only, cranked the egg to 600 and seared it quickly on both sides, closed down the vents and let it go to 125 on the thermapen.
Plated:
Oh and here's the wine, I get to choose white or red and I chose white!
A fun day of shucking, boating, egging, eating and Wine(ing).

The Easter Bunny was FOND of YOU!!!!Great POST!

Faith.......that's it.......better organize another fest so I can come over,,,,,even the Botanical Garden looks great!!!!!

Looks like a great day on the water.
Spent the day near the water myself.
Bad news, most of my golf balls spent the day in the water.
A bad day of golf is still better than a good day of work...
OK, three bad days of golf but the weather here in Florida has been just the best.
One more day here at Eglin AFB and then back to Galveston to rest up for OKC.
Always enjoy your posts,

Our trip has been great.
Two nights in Panama City Beach and three nights at the base. We had a neat morning of fog at beach Friday morning but it burned off.
Mid 50's at night and mid 70's day. Just perfect...Today was the best.
Might make a trip to the mother ship Tuesday before my trip home.
Happy Easter Faith,

Bill,
Since the egg was 600 degrees, the sear was 2 minutes per side.
The oysters were cooked at 400 for approximately 4 minutes.

Very nice Faith.

Two ?s FGG, what is tarragon butter & how long on the grill for the lobster,,and was that direct or indirect, what temp? This adds up to more than 2. thanks your plates and food are beautiful.

Man!, when I die I want to go to your house!

Faith, I hate opening your posts before dinner, they always make me hungry
:laugh: :laugh: -
Thanks!

Rooster,
The tarragon butter is just melted butter (I use salted) with dried tarragon mixed in, which I brushed on before and during the cook. The lobster tails were 6 oz. each and were cooked at 400 dome for 3 minutes shell side down, and 2 minutes after the flip. Note that the lobster was cut in 1/2 to expose the meat so it could obtain some of that nice smokey taste from the egg. This entire cook was done direct.
Thanks to all for your nice responses.
