Grandma Winifred's Infamous Scalloped Oysters Recipe (Family)

This is a traditional side dish that my English Grandmother served at holiday meals.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup soft bread crumbs (cut crust off of bread and grind in blender or food processor)
1 cup fine cracker or panko bread crumbs
1 stick of butter, melted
3 cups of oysters in jar with liquid
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon worcestshire sauce
3 tablespoons cream or milk

Method:
Preheat oven to 350*. Mix both types of crumbs with the melted butter. Place half of crumb mixture on the bottom of a greased 1 quart casserole or square baking dish. Layer with half of oysters, reserving liquid. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and half of parsley. Layer with remaining oysters, salt, pepper and parsley. Strain the oyster liquid and mix 1/3 of liquid with the worcetshire and milk. Pour over oysters. Top with remaining crumb mixture. Bake, uncovered until puffy and golden brown, approximately 30 minutes. Serve with tabasco or siracha sauce. (Some people like to add hot sauce to this dish.) Serves 4 - 8 persons as a main course or side dish.

Notes:
The recipe above is exactly as  Grandma used to make. I added  a teaspoon of horseradish and sriracha sauce to the liquid, Worcestershire and milk mixture. (More could be added to suit personal taste.) Jarred oysters smell "fishier"  than fresh oysters, but jarred oysters cost less than fresh ones. Even so, I would like to try making a version of Grandma's recipe with fresh oysters and bottled clam juice.
