Oysters - Fried and Raw

Andrew and I have happily started off 2011 with lots of oyster-eating! It started with fried oysters from New Years (thanks, Aunt Betty):





...and then continued with Walking Fish, who is offering winter season shares for the first time ever. Here's Andrew shucking:





and here are the yummy raw oysters on the half shell:





This past weekend we brought a quart of oysters back from Andrew's family in southern MD and made a nice, creamy oyster stew (no picture).

And the oyster fest continues - we're getting more oysters from Walking Fish tomorrow, but Andrew will be on his way to China (!), so I'll need to figure out the shucking myself.
