One quart oysters
Stick of butter or so
One chopped onion
Four stalks celery chopped
Chopped green onions
Quart of whole milk
Salt, pepper
Three or four slices of bacon

Cook bacon until crisp, remove and set aside, get rid of all except one tablespoon of bacon fat, add stick of butter , add onion and celery and sweat down slow, add a tablespoon of flour and make a five minute blonde roux over just medium heat, add oysters and liquid and just poach, add milk and seasonings to taste and bring to a quick boil then reduce to low simmer until it is heated through and just slightly thickened, add a few more pats of butter and swirl in.

Serve in bowl garnished with green onions and crumbled bacon and oyster crackers.

Martini, I use this recipe', but have found success using one quart of 1/2 & 1/2 as opposed to milk. Just saying

Wonder how this recipe would taste with a dark roux added instead of the cream? When he said stew I was thinking of a roux based gravy and not cream, for some reason I like my seafood stew or gravy with a dark roux, almost on the verge of being burnt.

That looks a lot like a crawfish chowder I make. Do you leave the oysters whole or do you dice them up? I don't think my wife could eat them whole.....
