Oyster Stew

October, 2009

Cassotrea virgmica is extraordinarily versatile and lends itself to a wide variety of preparations. Classics such as oysters en brochette and oysters Rockefeller are always wel­come, but oyster lovers can also delight in new, creative pairings. Chef Michael Far-rell (right) has been open­ing eyes in New Orleans with his innovative cuisine. Check out his imaginative oyster dishes at Le Meritage at the Maison Dupuy.
