    This is exactly my family's recipe. Mom was alway so meticulus about putting the oysters in a strainer to make sure there was no sand or shells in the juice, the feeling each oyster with her fingers as she rinsed them... funny the ways you remember your Mom. - 11/24/12

    Good taste, needed to be cooked longer still too juicy for me. Used fresh oysters caught in the Gulf south of New orleans. - 4/28/10

    This is almost identical to the oyster dressing my mom makes every year. It's a hard recipe to come by. Thank you for sharing this! - 12/7/08
