oysters

Oyster is the common name for a number of different families of salt-water bivalve molluscs that live in marine or brackish habitats. In some species, the valves are highly calcified, and many are somewhat irregular in shape. Many, but not all oysters are in the superfamily Ostreoidea.
Some types of oysters are commonly consumed cooked or raw, and in some locales are regarded as a delicacy. Some types of pearl oysters are harvested for the pearl produced within the mantle. Windowpane oysters are harvested for their translucent shells, which are used to make various kinds of decorative objects.

    Oysters

    I couldn't find a thread on oysters alone. I have oysters in the freezer for a meal with friends one night. I usually batter (beer) and deep fry. What ways do you guys do them.? I did years ago do them under the grill/ broiler a long time ago. Russ

    Recipe Mama Paul's Old School Oyster Rice Dressing Mix

A Canadian buddy and I ate ourselves stupid at Acme Oyster House in NOLA when at a trade show. Of course, that...

    Recipe Shrimp and Oyster Gumbo

    I recently returned from a visit to New Orleans, so I can say definitively that this tasted like the ones I had there. While there are different ways to prepare a gumbo, this one is all about the roux. As you prepare the roux, you'll be reminded of the smell off fried chicken...which makes...
