This is just a good, simple oyster stew recipe. No muss, no fuss. And it’s delicious!
There was an old mom & pops style convenience store owned by a family in Kings Mountain who would travel to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to pick up fresh oysters that they would sell in their store. Those oysters made the best oyster stew!
