Used half & half, 1# of fresh oysters, & pepper jack cheese instead. Also added a pinch of kosher salt & ground black pepper. Very Yummy!

A good recipe base that needs some extra touches to bring it from blah to great. Next time, I'll try bacon,Old Bay or something--anything--to give it a little more flavor.

This chowder was delicious! I followed the recipe exact. My husband always compares any kind of oyster soup to his mother's dish, but he said I liked this just as much if not more! Thanks for sharing this recipe! Yummy!

Excellent. Don't be afraid to try it. It sounds crazy putting spinach with oyster stew but it was awesome. My husband grew up with fresh oyster stew and he is 65 now and loves the stuff. He had only had oyster stew with milk, butter and oysters. This is a really nice twist to oyster stew which he requests often. We always use fresh/frozen oysters, never canned with this. I shred my spinach leaves a little so you don't get such a big piece of spinach and we also like a tsp. of Old Bay in the chowder. We sometimes add salad shrimp in this which is really nice. It even reheats which is a plus as there are only two of us so we at least have a couple meals.

I used canned smoked oysters, double mushrooms, and extra nonfat milk powder for thickening. We had arugula, so I used that with stems removed and leaves cut in half. Added some black pepper, roasted garlic, and mesquite spice blend. I melted in crumbled sharp cheddar and a few slices of provolone and DH LOVED it! I don't adore oysters, but this was pretty darn good with a crusty roll.

Used skim milk, 4 celery ribs, 1 teaspoon worcetershire sauce, 4 garlic cloves, and 1/2 stick of butter (very slight changes). 1-10 rating- I give it a 25.

I made this for my husband for New Year's Day with fresh oysters he shucked..... he hasn't stopped talking about it..... It was awesome... I added the precooked bacon chopped up when I added the cheese.... and used 4 cups of whole milk and one cup of half and half. Incredible texture, taste and color... I would love to try it with fresh clams... thank you for the recipe

Excellent! Being a clam lover, I am not too fond of oysters but this was terrific. I will make this again. I may try it with clams the next time. Just a personal preference. They are "meatier." A great recipe/
