Fresh Louisiana Shucked Oysters 

The Louisiana oyster are best by the dozen, cold and salty, with cocktail sauce, a shot of TABASCO, crackers and a cold beer.  Oysters are certainly tasty panneed, charbroiled or baked.  Try adding fresh oysters to your stew or seafood gumbo.  Oyster juice makes an excellent addition to any stock or roux.  More than a third of the nation's oysters come from our waters, so it's no surprise that Louisiana oysters are celebrated in kitchens from coast to coast.
