Never heard of this. I love love love oysters! So, I know this will be a hit!
Some folks like it thick with oysters, so if you’d like you can probably double the amount of oysters. Enjoy!
That looks great. I wish I could try the jarred oysters sometime. The fresh are a rarity and we only get the canned which just aren’t that good!
I got our oysters from Wegmans. They are freshly shucked and in the refridgerator section of the fresh seafood dept.
