This was delicious but not very creole. My 18 year old son thought it was too creamy even though I used skim milk. The oysters were delicious and very mild tasting. I probably should have added more cayenne.

This recipe is absolutely the best Oyster Stew I have eaten, nevertheless made. It is extremely rich, but it works oh so well! I made a few alterations: Kielbasa (on hand for bacon, no wine (didn't have, no celery (don't like, don't use Goat's Milk for milk/heavy cream (lactose issues and a half stick of butter (I do want to be around to make it again! Even with my alterations, I can't believe how delicious and rich this stew is. After it sits overnight and everything meshes...it's even better. One thing I'll omit in the next batch is the thyme - personally think it can do without it. But I do plan to add the wine - can't wait to see how it changes the flavor!!! Agree with many of the other reciews, it is "over the top", you can gain "10 lbs" easily...and you will definately "get raves". Thank you Emeril!!

Wow! That was really good. I am usually a little bit skeptical of online recipes but, I must say it was really great. I grew up with my Mom making Oyster stew all the time and now that I am married I wanted to share that with my husband. I hate to say it but Emeril's recipe beat my mom's! Just don't tell her that! ;

I grew up along the Chesapeake Bay; and now live in Little Rock, AR. I make this Oyster Stew every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I've had zillions of oyster stews. This is by far the best I've ever had, and I travel all over the country. In fact......I have to make a double batch due to the demand from my guests to take home. Follow the recipe to the letter. Bon Appetit!

Very good oyster stew; a welcome change from the standard variety. To Shawn in KY, try pre-shucked oysters next time and don't substitute chicken stock for milk and cream in a true oyster stew. And to everyone who insists on changing a recipe before actually trying it as designed, do yourself a favor and try it at least once the way the chef originally intended before adding your own interpretations.

I thought that this soup was very good but also very rich and I didn't even use all the milk or cream. Instead of 3 cups of milk I used 1&1/2 and 2 cups of chicken stock and it turned out great. I would also advise anyone to cut back on the flour because I had to add some additional stock the next day to thin it out some. Finally on the prep time this was the 1st time that I worked with oysters and they take a long time to shuck so be prepared.

This is simply the best recipe for Oyster Stew and I've tried them all! It was easy to make, but tasted like restaurant quality. I've passed this recipe to friends and family and even some enemies 'cause it's THAT GOOD.

I think I gained 10 pounds eating it because I ate the entire pot. OUTSTANDING!
