Debn's shrimp creole got me to thinking about seafood. My husband still keeps an oyster license, although he hasn't oystered in about 20 years. Oyster reason opens November 1st here. Of course, you can buy oysters year round that are taken from private reefs, but they really don't taste good (to me) until after a couple of cold spells.

My mother loved oyster stew and I have made many pots of it for her, and my husband likes them raw, in stew, on the grill and anyway you can think of to eat them. I just like them fried. I like them fried in cracker meal. I used to use Nabisco cracker meal, which came in a blue box, but I haven't found any in quite awhile. I did find another brand of cracker meal. My mother used to use a rolling pin and crush saltine crackers. Many people fry them in corn meal, but if I don't have cracker meal, I like them fried in flour with some baking powder added, or just use self rising flour.

So...do you love them....or hate them?
