Charbroiled is hard to come by in Corpus

Baked? Rockefeller and other styles:

Black Diamond: https://www.blackdiamondoysterbar.com/menu-1

Scuttlebutt's: https://scuttlebuttsbarandgrill.com/menu/

Both places aim to please, so you could try requesting them seasoned as you like and baked.

I think Scuttlebutt's has a way to "broil" them with overhead gas grill over the halfshelled oysters (visible thru kitchen porthole viewing from the right end of the bar).

Hard to imagine "char grilled" oysters - what would be left afterwards. Thats a very delicate meat/flesh whatever you call it, it would seem like the best you could do is drop in on a screen covered hot grill and then pick it up very quickly. I bow to my all time favorite BDOB for my probable ton of oysters i have consumed raw in my short 68 years and have left some tie-halves there a time or two until i learned better. I do miss that place.

on the half-shell Donnie, and it sounds wonderful.
charbroiled shrimp is a food group.

Ya'll need to take a trip to Drago's in New Orleans before you knock char-grilled oysters! A dozen, with a french loaf is spot on for a cold January evening.

CS is right. I made these and they are fabulous!

Years ago when Snoopy's was really Snoopy's, you used to be able to get oysters on a half shell and on their fire inside they had swing out trays you can put them on and put them over the fire. they were awesome

I made a pasta salad with Caesar dressing yesterday. Instead of anchovies (as is tradition), I used smoked, canned oysters. It came out fantastically. But I love oysters on a half shell all the time, regardless of those chinkanese smoked oysters that aren't even 1/3 the size of ours. I'll eat them, but I prefer real oysters.

Bottom line is = I don't know any local restaurants that offer what you are looking for. But I don't mind them raw. If you like cooked, go to Water Street and order the best cooked oysters they have (forgot what they're called - my ex loved them though). They're wood-fired...

You can get a pint of oysters and place individuals into ramekins, season, and grill. Foil works too. Delicious!

A small hibachi or charcoal grill and hot coals. put raw unshucked on direct heat until they start to open and add tobasco! easy to open and easy to eat. Alby's in Fulton has them for fifty bucks a sack.

The recipe for Drago's char-broiled oysters was published in NOLACuisine magazine a few years back. I've been making them for years. Instead of using un-shucked oysters, we buy quarts of shucked oysters at Alby's, and cook them on my BBQ in throw-away foil muffin pans from Dollar Tree. YUM! I remember reading that Drago's goes through 900 dozen oysters a day(!) in peak season. TexasJim
