The Oyster - a delicious mollusc that us humans have been eating for thousands of years.
In more recent times we have become better at serving it - from raw with horseradish and hot sauce, to grilling and frying. There are so many delicious recipes you can use with a simple bushel of oysters.
One of my favorites is Fried Oyster Po'Boys. It is so delicious, drizzled with a homemade Remoulade Sauce - It's my choice every time I see it on a menu!
