Maybe some dill or a squeeze of lemon or a sprig of thyme. Maybe a touch of flour to thicken. Lots of simple ways to play with the basic recipe. Just don't overload it. The main thing is not to over cook the oysters. Nothing worse than rubbery oysters. Smaller ones are better for a stew.

At least I dont Agreed, my list was possible flavors not all at once. Oyster stew is all about the oysters the cream is just the delivery system and the possible flavors are to subtly get away from just milk flavor. Even the onion/shallot can be to much. Matter of fact I think my next pot will leave them out just a little sauted garlic butter, oysters, cream simmered with thyme and garnish with chives.

Sharon used my recipe and displayed a photo of it in a very special setting. Maybe she'll show it on here. Oyster & Crab Stew 1/2 bushel fresh shucked oysters (about 2 QTS.) 2 LB. of Blue Claw Crab Meat 1 LB. of cooked and chopped "Double Smoked" Bacon with drippings added 2 Gallons of Whole Milk 1 QT. of Heavy Cream 3/4 cup Worcester Sauce 3 Tbsp. of fresh cracked Black Pepper 3 Tbsp. of Old Bay Seasoning 3 Tbsp. of Cayenne pepper 2 Tsp. of Celery Seed 3 Sticks of REAL BUTTER Cook oysters separately with their liquor until edges curl. DO NOT OVER COOK! Heat milk and cream and add all other ingredients. Add oysters and simmer for 5 minutes.

And quite frankly Old Bay is over rated.
