Oyster Recipes

Simple yet elegant oysters smoked in their own shells. I've never been a fan of canned oysters but they don't even compare to these. Smoking them in their own liquor plumps them up and gives them a great texture.

Impress guests with these exotic Japanese oyster and quail egg shots. Sweet and salty flavors come together for a taste explosion!

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.

This recipe was given to me years ago. It is enough to serve one hungry man or 6 ladies.

Born and raised on the water, oystering is in chef Madden Surbaugh's blood. Every year at Christmas his grandfather made his famous oyster stew, a creamy bisque perfect for any occasion.

This is a wonderful smoked oyster dip appetizer for oyster lovers. Simple to prepare with readily available ingredients. Great for unexpected guests. Spread on baguettes or dip with crackers.

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

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.

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.

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

Delicious. Takes a little extra time, but it's worth the effort. Serve hot with green salad and crusty French bread

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. 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.

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.

This quick and delicious oyster dressing takes the fuss and the mess out of the picture. It is all done on the stove top, and tastes like it has been cooking in the oven all day!

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

Oyster stuffing. This recipe makes enough stuffing to stuff a 10 to 12 pound turkey.

Broiled oysters are elevated from southern backyard fare to upscale appetizers that still call for licking your fingers afterwards. You can use plain oysters or smoked oysters in this recipe which is sure to please every oyster lover out there. This is a great brunch dish or supper appetizer and goes particularly well with champagne.

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

I could never find the right oyster stuffing recipe, so I made my own with bacon, onion, mushrooms, and oysters. It is great with grilled turkey.
