You can get easily find these frozen oysters in the freezer section of a Korean grocery store. These shucked frozen oysters can be eaten raw because they were flash frozen.
If I use them in my kimchi, I don’t even need to thaw them out. I just rinse and drain them, and then chop them and add them. But when I use them in bo-ssam or in jeon, I thaw them out in the fridge for a couple of hours before washing, draining, and using.

Maangchi-nim, is it safe to eat raw oysters? I bought a brand of frozen oysters that recommends to cook it on the packaging, so I don’t know if it would be okay for me to use raw. :S

Thanks, Maangchi. I love oysters and fortunately, in Washington State, we have access to great fresh oysters. Very delicious, briny and invigorating. Can’t wait to make bo-ssam!

Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking. Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes, more photos, and more variety.
