Note

Use fresh, high-quality oysters for the best flavor. Ensure they are properly shucked and free of shell fragments.

Clam juice can be substituted with clam broth or even a light seafood stock if clam juice is unavailable.

Half and half can be replaced with heavy cream for a richer texture or whole milk for a lighter version.

Toast should be sturdy enough to hold the liquid; sourdough or rye works well.

This dish is best served immediately as the oysters will continue to cook and become rubbery if held too long.

Adjust the amount of chili sauce based on your preferred heat level.
