Oyster Stew:

Ingredients:

1 pint fresh oysters with liquor
1/2 cup fresh onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup crisp celery, finely chopped
1 stick butter
1 quart whole milk (use part half-and-half for richer stew)
seasoned salt to taste
pepper to taste
celery salt to taste
Prep:

First shuck the oysters and keep on ice. Next drain the oysters and save the natural liquor and then carefully remove any shell particles.

In a large saucepan, add in and sauté the onion and celery in 2 tablespoons of the butter, until they are very soft and transparent. Next add the milk and the rest of the butter. Slowly heat the milk, but do not bring to a boil. Add the oyster liquor, salt, pepper, and celery salt. In a separate pan, heat the oysters for 2 minutes or more, just until they curl at the edges. Add the oysters to the stew 2 minutes before serving.
