<< Don't grill em! >>

Ya gill um to keep the inexperienced from lancing themselves attempting to get them open. They open up a little when they get hot. ( We all become inexperienced after a few drinks. )

Iffin I had a good Oyster stew recipe ..... I'd use it.

Only real men eat them raw.. ( satire )

Ya should have been with us scuba diving when we were eating them right off the bar. Now that looked wrong!

My favorite oyster recipe has one ingredient: Oysters. And two steps: (1) pry open. (2) eat. (It's safer to let a pro do step 1 for me.)

My favorite local Oyster Bar at "our" beach ( Dusty's, Panama City Beach ) often sends somebody to the World Championships... That would be after winning the National Title.

I can make it look easy but nothing like those guys. They keep a grinder behind the bar to sharpen the knives.

You're welcome... I always use a bit more butter, a few more oysters, ok a little bit more of everything and I add garlic. And use 1/2&1/2, way better...

OK this looks pretty good.. I think I would substitute Mace for the nutmeg.

Steve Kroll's Oyster Stew
Having this hearty soup on New Year's Day has been a tradition in our family for a number of years. If you are unable to find bottled clam juice, you can substitute chicken or vegetable stock.

Oyster Stew

Ingredients:
2 pints shucked oysters in their liquor
8 tbsp butter
1/2 cup flour
2 shallots, finely chopped
4 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 8 oz bottle clam juice
3 cups half & half
2 or 3 good shakes of Tabasco
1/2 tsp old bay seasoning
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
salt and pepper
Preparation:
Strain the oysters, reserving the liquor. Rinse the oysters under cold water and set aside.
Melt the butter in a small dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Cook the roux for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the shallots, celery, and garlic, and cook for a few minutes longer. Continue stirring the entire time.
Add the white wine, clam juice, and reserved oyster liquor; stir to make a paste. Cook for a couple of minutes to burn off the alcohol. Gradually add the half and half, a cup at a time. Continue stirring and don't let the mixture come to a boil. Reduce the heat to low.
Add Tabasco, old bay, and nutmeg. Stir in oysters and cook gently over low heat until the oysters are cooked through and beginning to curl around the edges.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
