I was just looking at your recipe and making my list! The fishmonger is getting a "pot" of shucked oysters, so I figured that's what I'll trade for learning to clean fish this week. I was thinking bacon, scallops and, since the fishmonger has a smoker, throwing some oysters in to smoke to add another layer of flavor. Have you ever added smoked anything or bacon? Is this on your diet???We are having oyster stew tonight. Well, technically it's oyster and scallop stew. I goofed up when I made my grocery list and ended up getting two half-pints of oysters instead of two pints. So I pulled a bag of bay scallops out of the freezer and tossed them in.

I haven't smoked anything since the 70s.

It works on my diet with a few modifications. For example, I can't use wheat flour as a thickener, so I use a Japanese product called Konjac flour. It has a somewhat high carb count, but it has 10x the thickening power as cornstarch, so you don't have to use near as much. It also has the benefit of naturally lowering blood sugar.
(Oh, and that's a photo from the last time I made it, so I didn't actually eat bread, either)
It's a good recipe. I hope you like it.
Kathleen, it has no taste at all. I bought it at a website called netrition.com, and it was expensive. But you use such a small amount, I'd be willing to bet the 1 lb bag I bought will easily last a year.
I will let you know how it turns out!
