Oyster Roast

Whether raw, baked, fried, or in a stew, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy Louisiana oysters. As the temperature dips and outdoor events become more palatable, hosting an oyster roast is a fine way to spend an afternoon.

Rather than buying oysters individually for an event like this, it can be more convenient to buy them by the sack. Each burlap bag comes with one and one-half bushels of oysters—80 to 100 oysters, depending on their size.
