Gather all the necessary ingredients such as oysters, butter, onion, celery, and seasonings.
In a pot, melt butter over medium heat and add diced onion and celery. Sauté until soft.
Stir in the oysters and cook until they begin to curl and are heated through.
Add the broth (or milk) to the pot and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Season the oyster stew with salt, pepper, and any other preferred seasonings to taste.
Ladle the oyster stew into bowls and garnish as desired.
Choose fresh oysters for the best flavor. Check for any strong odor or shell damage before purchasing.
You can substitute half-and-half for a creamier texture if desired.
Serve with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful broth.
