      This is the oyster stew I grew up with, except my Mom never measured anything, and I always heated it too much, too fast. This came out perfect, and will be my "go too" recipe from now on.

      Used to make a big pot of this with a friend's recipe but I like this smaller version. Thanks for posting!

      This is a great recipe. My mom always added finely diced onion to cook up with the rest. My mother also said that heating slowly is the best. As soon as the butter is melted it is hot enough.The butter or margarine is always put in whole and straight from the refrigerator. You may pick up your fresh oysters at the store during the holidays and freeze to have on hand when ever you desire. I always check the date and return to the store and purchase on sell by date at a big discount.

      I have a pot on the stove right now. This is pretty much the Gulf Coast standard for Oyster Stew, hard to improve on something this good. Just a couple of tricks if you like a thicker stew. I add a small can of fat free condensed milk, gives it a thicker texture and richer flavor. If it's still not thick enough for you simply add a small amount of instant potato flakes and stir well with each addition. Beth, I'm betting your grandmother might have added a pinch of cayenne. Thanks for posting.

      Nice simple flavor. I used our wonderful Gulf (of Mexico) oysters but was unable to achieve the flavor my granmother's had, and hers seemed thicker. I decided to add some, diced very finely, potatoes and then mashed them a bit. It did help to thicken and made it a little hearty. The Ole Bay seasoning was a must in my opinion. Thanks for posting.

      This is delicious and easy. It is much the same recipe as the one I have in an old cookbook. I can highly recommend it.

      This is a wonderful recipe. Easy to make and the taste is awesome. I used canned oysters since I could not obtain fresh oysters here where I live. I have never had such an easy and tasty oyster stew recipe.

      I fixed this for DH last weekend. Cut the recipe in half since I don't eat oyster stew. I sauted chopped onions in butter and added to the stew. He loved it! Said it was just like my grandmother used to make for him. Now when he craves oyster stew, I can whip it up in no time. Thanks for the great recipe!

      Delicious, Oyster Stew, I have been making oyster stew like this for years. It is the best. I used fat free half & half, makes a nice rich soup. This is great for a good dinner when you are rushed for time. Thank you for posting the recipe for everyone who loves oyster stew, to enjoy.

      This is one of the simplest & most wonderful soups I've ever made. It's great on a chilly evening when you've had a rough day, a true comfort food! Whenever my family has it we always chop up a bowl of crunchy sweet pickles, & another bowl of celery, to pass at the table & sprinkle in the soup for crunch & contrast.
