Wow has the price of canned smoked oysters ever gone up. I remember looking at St Jeans a few years back and they were around $70 for 12 cans. Now they want $143 for 12 cans!!!
Anybody know of any other smoke house on the island that does a really good job with canned smoked oysters sourced from our waters?
I found Sawmill Bay and ordered some from them cause they offer free shipping but still they are very pricey at $110 for 10 cans. Almost the same price as St Jeans but Sawmill offers free shipping.
Have contemplated smoking and canning some myself but not sure if I trust getting a good supply of them on the mainland. Maybe when I'm over on the island I'll giver' a go though.
Anyone had good success smoking their own fresh oysters? If so please explain your brine method ie dry or wet etc.. I see the common brine the canners use is just oyster nectar, sugar, salt.
