Oyster stew
Oyster Stew is a traditional dish originating from the United States, particularly popular in the coastal regions where oysters are abundant. It is a type of soup that primarily consists of oysters and milk or cream.
History[edit | edit source]
The history of Oyster Stew dates back to the early settlers in New England, who had abundant access to oysters. It was traditionally served as a part of the Christmas meal in some parts of the United States.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The basic preparation of Oyster Stew involves simmering oysters in their own juices (known as the liquor) until they are just cooked, then adding milk or cream and often a roux to thicken the stew. Some variations may include additional ingredients such as onions, celery, and potatoes. The stew is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and often a dash of paprika.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are many regional variations of Oyster Stew. In the Southern United States, it is often spiced with Cajun seasonings. In the Midwestern United States, it is sometimes served with oyster crackers on the side.
