I love them fried in a batter of milk, egg and cracker meal, smoked in tins like sardines are packaged and as an ingredient in oyster dressing. I’ve never cooked any oysters. My father used to fry them from his outings on the river. I sure wished I had asked him exactly how he made them but he passed on before I developed an interest in cooking. I buy the tins of smoked oyster by the case from Aldi’s. I haven’t had oyster dressing in forever since a coworker friend who used to share hers with me moved to another state. I don't think I would like them in stew either.

I love fresh fried oysters. Houston and New Orleans have the best.

I love the flavor that they give to milk based oyster stew, but I don't eat them. Oyster stew was a family tradition on Christmas Eve when I was growing up. Milk, butter, celery salt, and oysters....wonderful memories!

@shortbreadlover Yes--Yummy! As an adult love raw oysters on the half shell. As a child liked them in stuffing and as oyster stew.

Milford, Connecticut has a weekend event on a Friday/Saturday each year known as the Milford Oyster Festival. Saturday has the main events. The 45th one will be held in mid August, 2019. When I lived in the area I went every year.

Wonderful event, large, varied assortment of oysters, and oyster dishes, and other festival foods in booths and restaurants near the historic green in the center of the town. Craft vendors, live music, vintage car show, children's activities, sailing ship type availability, and on and on. Supports community non profits. Local small businesses have fabulous sales as well.

Mark it on your calendar (use search engine to get the exact Friday & Saturday dates) if you will be visiting the area and book a room as close as possible to the site (much better to walk than to drive and park) as early as possible since hotels, motels, and B & Bs sell out early each year.

Love them. We get the Chesapeake Bay oyster around here and while I love them raw on the half shell with hot sauce, ever since the MSX bacteria infected them years ago, I won’t eat them raw anymore. I do love them lightly fried, but dont know how to do it correctly. Got to consult one of my Deal Island friends.

I LOVE oysters on the half shell with a squeeze of lemon and hot sauce. I also like clams on the half shell the same way and clams oreganata.

My food choices are mainly seafood, chicken, and turkey. I DON'T eat red meat, pork, bacon, sausage, ham etc. - SO unhealthy.

Love oystrers on the half shell with a squirt of lemon or fried. I never had them in a stew or stuffing or tried preparing them at home (fresh or canned).

Enjoy!
