What Can I Make With Oysters
We’ve been spending a lot of time at the beach lately and since this is Oyster season, we’ve splurged and got a whole bushel of local oysters. They are absolutely fabulous raw and steamed, but even so there’s only so often I can eat them and we have barely made a dent in this huge bag of oysters.
My favorite way to eat them is to just steam them, dip them in a little melted butter and eat them, but I’m sure there’s a lot more you can do with them. Do you have a good recipe for oyster stew? How do you fry them and what else do you make with fresh oysters? I’d love to hear your ideas and recipes, so please leave them as a comment below.

Super Simple Fried Oysters
You’ll need:
Pancake Mix
Chucked, fresh oysters
Oil for frying
Paper towels
Lightly toss the oysters (a few at a time) in the pancake mix, shake of the excess flower mixture and fry them in 350 degree oil until they are golden and crispy.
Let them drain on paper towels and serve with tartar sauce and cocktail sauce.
Simple, but very yummy

Just plane oysters can be delicious, of course they have to be very very fresh, adding some lemon and a bit of hot sauce. uhmm!
