OK, we made this on Christmas Day, basically I just doubled the recipe, but I added 1 tsp cayenne, and 1 TBS of worcestershire sauce, and some scallions for garnish. People raved over this. Will make it several times a year if I can get the oysters... not always easy where I live.

Made this wonderful recipe last night with just a few modifications.... Sauteed a small minced onion in the butter to start, and added a bit of garlic salt and white pepper to the regular salt and pepper. Most importantly for our health, subbed two quarts of fat-free half and half and didn't feel flavor was comprimised in the least... Superb!

I made this for Christmas Eve dinner along with appies. Delicious. DS (home from college) couldn't get enough of this. This is exactly how my mother and grandmother used to make it, this was perfect in every way. Thank you for making our holiday one that reminded me of my youth.....Stephanie

Thank you so much for sharing. I do not eat oysters, but my mom traditionally made oyster stew at Christmastime. This year, I made it for my parents as a treat. They hadn't eaten oyster stew for about 40 years, so they were thrilled and said this recipe was "perfect," tasting exactly as they remembered it. I only needed a small batch, so I halved the ingredients (omitted the milk and used only the half-and-half). As an oyster novice, I wasn't sure what it meant for the oyster to "curl." For others, I would characterize it this way: when the edges of the oyster get ruffly, then it's time to add the milk. Also, I didn't use much salt, due to my parents' dietary restrictions, but they said it still tasted great. Thanks again for sharing and allowing me to give my parents this decadent treat!

I too am a New Englander [mother and grandmother before me] and make my oyster stew just as Lorraine's friend Elaine shared with her. I'm sure you will find this traditional New England oyster stew a pleasure to your palate. ENJOY..!!

This is the recipe my Grandma used every Christmas Eve. When she died, my Mom made it, and now that she is gone I make it! It tastes GREAT!!! It has been a family tradition for over 60 years!
