Evah had a Hankering for....

For homemade oyster stew !...Nevah made it until right now. What a labor of love...but OMG !

Labor of love like the soup Nazi on Sienfeld. Lol.

Anothah use for dahh ol church key

Raw oysters always remind me of something that came out of the south end of a northbound possum,,,,but I bet that oystah stew is good!

Moosetrot

My ol man taught me that trick a long time ago....Much Safer than those Oystah knifes....

Good stuff.

After seeing those pics, suddenly I've a powerful hankering!
Thanks for sharing.

Deep fried and breaded for me.

Make it every year for Xmas dinner.

I don't have fresh oysters like you, I have to get the fresh ones out of the store but they make a great stew!

Moosy...I had bought some extras .....Cuz I knew all of them wouldn’t make it in the stew..! I sucked down 6 raw ones ....while making the recipe.

Looks good. Tacos for me

Around here...it’s a touch of cocktail sauce...touch of horse radish..squirt of lemon...throw it back...repeat.

Now here I was, thinking. Why he didn’t just eat them after he shucked them! I love me some oysters on the half shell.



Stew looks good Nessy!

Yum!

That is a proper plan to have, glad you thought ahead.

Now yer talkin! on a cold winter day!. . . try adding some crab meat and bacon sometime to it. GREAT Stew!

Looks good!

Nessmuck

It really looks delicious!

Thank you

Same here.

Which one ya think?

These are KS oysters. yours look funny. I might be scared to try one....

They may look funny, but I'll bet mine taste better.

You are making my mouth water. I love oysters raw or cooked. Oyster stew is our family tradition every Christmas, wish we had it more often.

NY Bluepoint Oysters are some of the best you can get. They shouldn't be to hard to get up there?

Is that like chowdah?

Kinda -sorta...only with oysters

Chowdah usually refers to clams. Stew is O'sters :-)

I clean my bull frogs with a church key.

I have 3 friends that have oyster farms 1/4 mile from where I'm sitting, lol, hardly ever eat the darn things, but that church key trick is great, never saw that before, I did see an oyster knife stuck in my hand once....

I use canned oysters for the stew here.

5 cans oysters
1/2 gallon HALF & HALH
Stick or two of butter
Salt and Pepper to taste

Warm slow till butter is melted, then its ready. Be carful not to burn or scald.

No sir, never, but had New England clam chowder last night. !

I gave Sharon my recipe for O'ster & Crab stew a few years back. She did a great job and presentation with cornbread! NICE! This is her pic she sent to me.

Got a sautéed diced onion...and 2 cloves of grated gaahlick ...paprika, cayenne pepper, salt and fresh ground peppah in mine

Well........did yah like it ?

Here's my recipe :

1 gallon of fresh shucked oysters (about 4 QTS.)
2 LB. of Blue Claw Crab Meat
1 LB. of cooked and chopped "Double Smoked" Bacon with drippings added
3 Gallons of Whole Milk
1 QT. of Heavy Cream
3/4 cup Worcester Sauce
3 Tbsp. of fresh cracked Black Pepper
3 Tbsp. of Old Bay Seasoning
3 Tbsp. of Cayenne pepper
2 Tsp. of Celery Seed
3 Sticks of REAL BUTTER

Cook oysters separately with their liquor until edges curl. DO NOT OVER COOK! Heat milk and cream and add all other ingredients. Add oysters and simmer for 5 minutes.

You can + / - the seasonings according to your individual taste

You own a restaurant .? That’s a pile of stew ! Sounds good ... I can see some tweaking to my recipe.

Lol Nessie..... I have been loving it for over 45 years.

No, just love Oysters and have a buddy who is a waterman :-)

"Pre dinner", mid-day seafood snackin' HA!

Awesome !.....Iam always on a quest to find the best clam Chowdah. So 2 years ago...I find out about this throw back restaurant in Keene NH. So

The wife and I hop in the GTO and take a drive to Keene. Come to find out...the 92 year old owner still makes the clam chowder everyday....and

His Chowdah is by far the best I’ve evah had.

It's REALLY hard to beat any "Chowda" from the New England States.

If you cant slerp down a few dozen raw oysters,you shouldn't even be allowed to eat oyster stew.

I can throw back raw oysters with the best of them....But are those little necks in the back ground...can not do them...lol

Now days though, ya have to be careful where they come from and are they FRESH!. I only get mine from my buddy right of the boat.

I can slerp down raw clams faster than anyone can open em for me.

Right about that,Pretty particular where I get my clams from also .

I coul;d eat that whole tray of oysters and clams in less than two minuites.EASY.Maybe one minuite if they were cut off the shell right.

I can slerp down raw clams faster than anyone can open em for me.

They're just a little chewier . . . but a brew or two makes 'em go down nice.

I haven't eaten that for over 45 years

Y’all making me hungry!!

That looks great!
I prefer fish chowder as made at a little restaurant in Maine right at the water. It is heaping in the bowl.
I went into the kitchen and the owner taught me to make it. I promised to never tell anyone his recipe.

Whenever and wherever I have exquisite food I go directly to the chef or cook and learn to make it. I first learned Texas BBQ from a 92 year old man who had made Q his entire life. I am 28 years into it.

dang..., I can even smell that picture

About five years ago, I had my 1st authentic clam chowdah in Maine at Jasper's seafood (Ibelieve). about a block from LL Beans. I started with a large bowl and then tried a small bowl of seafood chowdah. I liked the seafood so much that I got a large bowl of that, also. Yeah, I was one stuffed puppy. We went back two years ago and they were no longer there. That's the best I ever had, but I would sure give yours a shot.

yes,ate alot of it. I use to buy them for a dollar for 2.2 pounds in the philippines.
