Cajun Oyster Pie

A Louisiana favorite! You may add cooked vegetables to the filling if you wish.

By KTEEKIMO

Each year I am asked to make this wonderful dressing. The recipe has been in my family for years. Chopped oysters and chicken broth make it very moist and flavorful. For an even more moist dressing, use more chicken broth.

Holiday Oyster Stuffing

This is my grandmother's oyster stuffing recipe that has been handed down. It is a favorite for Thanksgiving and Christmas and very simple to make. If you cook your turkey at 325 degrees F, it will be perfect if the stuffing is cooked alongside it at that temp as well. It can also be baked in a muffin tin for individual servings.

Daddy Mack's Oysters

This is concoction was developed by my buddy and I during a block party. We had people standing in line. Be sure to use leather gloves when shucking hot oysters. Sounds like a pain, but well worth the work.

Oyster Casserole

Quick and easy oyster casserole.

Oyster Stew for One or Two

Wonderful main meal stew using 8-ounce container of oysters. Good served with toasted and buttered thick sliced bread and simple fruit, such as canned peaches. If stew is too thick, thin with a little more milk. If your oysters are large, they may be cut after cooking into smaller pieces.

Smoked Oyster Spread

Elegant Oyster Soup

Instant Pot® Fresh Steamed Oysters with Spicy Butter

I have baked, grilled, steamed on the stovetop, and even air fried oysters, but steaming in the Instant Pot® is hands down the best method. They are easy to open up and tender without any rubbery texture whatsoever.

Hangtown Fry with Parmesan and Fresh Herbs

My variation on the traditional Hangtown Fry contains cheese and fresh herbs and is finished under the broiler where the egg/oyster mixture puffs up like a cross between a frittata and a souffle. I get the best results using a cast iron skillet. It's important that the oven be hot before you place the skillet under the broiler.

Best Oyster Chowder Ever

You can make an oyster chowder in the middle of the desert with this recipe and you will be in the middle of the ocean with delight.

By Deborah Norris

Seafood Gumbo

This seafood gumbo takes some time, but is well worth the investment. Serve over long-grain white rice.

By Sara

Chef John's Scalloped Oysters

Some recipes you only make once a year because they're just so-so. Other recipes, like this dish of scalloped oysters, you only make once a year because they're too good.

By Chef John

Seafood File Gumbo

This is a big recipe and a big time-consumer, but delicious! Serve gumbo over 1/3 cup cooked rice per serving in bowls.

By Ann

Air Fryer Oysters on the Half Shell

I love the flavor of oysters but will not eat them raw due to texture. Who would have thought you could cook them up in 4 minutes in the air fryer? So simple and such a treat.

By Soup Loving Nicole

Quick-but-Yummy Oyster Stew

A quick but yummy oyster stew! Serve with oyster or saltine crackers and hot sauce.

By Chris Braddy

Oyster Dressing (Stuffing)

This recipe is the only way I like oysters! And, the best stuffing ever!

By Stephanie Holt

Mom's Oyster Stew

Oyster stew is whipped up in a matter of minutes. The fresher the oysters, the better the flavor. A fresh tasty, savory version that's sure to please.

By Kathi Harrison Smith

Pasta With Shrimp, Oysters, and Crabmeat

This recipe came from my mother-in-law. Their family tradition was to have fish on Christmas Eve. I carried on that tradition with my own family. If you don't care for oysters, like me, then simply omit that step. The key is use fresh ingredients, not dried. My guests can't get enough of this--it'swell worth the effort! Serve with garlic bread.

Oyster Stew Christmas Eve Recipe

Oyster Stew has always traditionally been served by my mother and her Hollingsworth family roots from Georgia every Christmas Eve. The colors of red and green are very Christmas-like. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

By Elaine Ann Foglio

Chef John's Oysters Rockefeller

There's much debate over how many of America's greatest recipes got their name, but that's not an issue with Oysters Rockefeller. Thanks to the rich, money-colored butter sauce, this decadent creation's name pretty much wrote itself. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon over the top.

Oyster Stew with Evaporated Milk

Not Ya Mama's Oyster Dressing

Thirty-five years ago, a group of friends went to a little Italian restaurant south of New Orleans. We all fell in love with their oyster dressing. We ate it so often the guys made a bet to see who could duplicate the recipe. After many tries, one of our friends figured it out and won the bet. During this time I was pregnant with my son and I craved oysters any way but raw. My husband made this for me at least twice a week (35-year-old son came into this world loving oysters). Last year I found the original restaurant recipe in a New Orleans cookbook; our friend hit the nail on the head. This is his version.

Dad's Oyster Stew

Quick, easy, and delicious oyster stew recipe.

By Stephen Hart

Big John's Oyster Motoyaki

Anyone who's tried this dish seems to want to make it themselves. I've created this recipe to give those looking for real Motoyaki (not with some fake cheese sauce) something to make at home that tastes like the one from a restaurant. I hope you enjoy it.

By Big John

Dorsey's Fried Oysters

These are the single-fried oysters that my Mom cooked at the market. A simple and delicious appetizer cooked Chesapeake Bay style.

Dovel Family Oyster Stew

This has been served on Christmas Eve in our family forever. We also serve Chili, for those who don't care for oysters. Great with buttered crackers warmed in the oven, or plain oyster crackers straight out of the bag.

By LAURALLI

Oysters 'n' Bacon

A great hot appetizer to serve for company. Oysters wrapped in bacon, and baked in a garlicky sauce.

By KETURA

Seviche

This recipe was given to me by a dear friend from Ecuador. This dish is also great with raw shrimp, scallops, or fish. If using canned oysters, cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for about 30 minutes. If using raw shrimp, scallops, or fish, cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until they are opaque in the middle.

By ROBERTAJ

Oyster and Artichoke Soup

Rich, buttery soup with pieces of artichoke heart and oyster. If you love oysters or artichokes you can add half-again as much of these ingredients. You can also use 1 pint each heavy cream and half-half for a less rich soup. This soup does not freeze well so don't cook more than you can eat within a few days!
