Tips
- Use fresh oysters. Fresh oysters have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for stew. If you can't find fresh oysters, frozen oysters will work in a pinch, but they won't have the same flavor.
- Shuck the oysters yourself. Shucking oysters is a little bit of work, but it's worth it for the fresh flavor. If you don't want to shuck the oysters yourself, you can buy them pre-shucked, but they will be more expensive.
- Save the oyster liquor. The oyster liquor is the liquid that comes out of the oysters when you shuck them. It's full of flavor, so don't throw it away! Add it to the stew for a boost of flavor.
- Use a good quality roux. A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces and stews. A good quality roux will make your stew creamy and rich.
- Don't overcook the oysters. Oysters are delicate, so they don't need to be cooked for long. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread or crackers. Oyster stew is a hearty and satisfying meal, but it's even better when served with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
Conclusion
