September truly kicks off the best time of the year for most southerners. Not only are we prepping for our SEC football tailgating ventures but we’re also getting ready to kick off oyster season. September 1 through April 30 is the prime time to partake in this delicacy of the ocean and I for one couldn’t be more ready!
Records of oyster consumption date back as far as 55 B.C., and their use in dishes have evolved
and varied throughout history. From stews to fried to broiled to raw, the versatility of this mollusk is indeed limitless. I tend to be a more simple oyster consumer – all I require is a bottle of hot sauce and some saltines, normally. However, there are times when I just want to show out and create something magnificent with these salty morsels. I have three simple recipes that would make the perfect oyster flight for your next get together.
