Which comes first the oysters or the milk?

I checked out several recipes on the internet (I’m including one.) They all have the oysters added last. I believe it keeps them from getting tough.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup butter
1 cup minced celery
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 quart half-and-half cream
2 (12 ounce) containers fresh shucked oysters, undrained
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
DIRECTIONS
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the celery and shallots until shallots are tender.
Pour half-and-half into a large pot over medium-high heat. Mix in the butter, celery, and shallot mixture. Stir continuously. When the mixture is almost boiling, pour the Oysters and their liquid into the pot. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir continuously until the oysters curl at the ends. When the oysters curl the stew is finished cooking; turn off the heat and serve

Good Luck!

Oysters provide much-needed filtration of Chesapeake Bay waters, habitat for other aquatic life, and a modest commercial harvest. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation estimates the native oyster population to be as low as 4 percent of historic levels. Restoring the Chesapeake’s native oyster population is key to bringing back the Bay’s health.

I’ve heard that once I’ve had food poisoning from Oysters, I can’t eat them again. Is that true?

Food poisoning comes from bacteria on the food, due to improper preparation, storage, etc. I don’t think that you can get food poisoning from a properly prepared food, even if you have food poisoning due the the same food, prepared improperly. Just make sure it isn’t an allergy, which is completely different from food poisoning.

I like to eat canned Oysters. Every time I do my cat yowls for me to share it with him. I’ve done some research but cannot find anything on the safety of this. They are canned in soybean oil.

I would not recommend it for it may be too rich for your cat’s digestive system and then you will have a mess on the floor…

I had always thought of Oysters, clams, etc. as meat. But recently I saw somewhere that they are categorized as "fruits" of the ocean. Is this right?

To answer your question, NO.

I am making steamed Oysters for my super bowl party. What should I serve with them?
I need a side-dish to serve with oysters.

If you ask me– I can’t believe anyone covers up the flavor with any of the silly sauces. Save that stuff for french fries. Steamed and au natural! Maybe a nice crusty bread on the side for the juices.

… oh another dish??? Sorry, I get lost after I hear oysters.

In Northern California, located out on the coast by Pt. Reyes Seashore, are several oyster companies that farm their own Oysters. All of them farm their oysters along the marshes of coastal bays and are open to the public. You can buy them to take home, eat them raw at the farm, or at Tomales Bay Oyster Company, you can cook them on the grills they provide.

We love making a day of it as we wind through the redwoods and along the scenic coast. We prepare much of our picnic and accompaniments at home and create a wonderful oyster feast with sourdough bread, garlic butter to dress the oysters, louisiana hot sauce, and a nice bottle of chardonnay. The marshes create such a serene backdrop and the winged wildlife is plentiful.

Hi…I’d like to simply make some clams and oysters I picked up tonight..what’s the simplest way to cook them? Thank you for any assistance.:)

I hope you live in the Southern Hemisphere. Up North, we don’t eat shellfish in any month that doesn’t have an R in it. There’s 2 reasons. Red tide can concentrate in the meat and make you very sick. Also, they’re spawning, and won’t taste very good.

If you live down South, steam the clams until they open and eat. Discard any that don’t open. Oysters are very good raw.

I want to go out to dinner tonight with my boyfriend and am trying to find a good restaurant in Rochester, NY with Oysters. The only places I’ve found so far are restaurants that are in hotels and things like that.

Black and Blue has some good oysters, although they may be a bit on the pricey side.
