Ingredients Fish & Seafood Healthy Shellfish Recipes Healthy Oyster Recipes Maryland Oyster Stew 3.0 (2) 2 Reviews This delicate oyster soup recipe sets the tone for celebration at any meal. We made this stew healthier by primarily using low-fat milk and increasing the amount of vegetables. Don't worry about shucking the oysters--most supermarket seafood departments carry shucked oysters. Serve with crusty bread to sop up all the delicious bits at the bottom of the bowl.
