A while ago, my friend woolly told me about the Bay Fisher brand of frozen oysters she bought from NTUC. A pack cost S$3.95 and the oysters are decent, juicy and not fishy. You can find it at Cold Storage too. Woolly featured a Oyster Omelet (蚝煎) recipe on her blog using these oysters and I hope to try out her yummy looking recipe in future. For now, to test out the oysters, I did a no-pride super quick stir-fry with garlic. I would say this is a quick and cheap fix for oyster lovers. Can’t wait to experiment with them to come up with more recipes.

Wiffy and Woolly??? I can’t stop giggling. :P But you both sure make lovely oyster dishes!
Nice! I love how simple the recipe is. Let the oysters shine, eh?
Hey thanks for mentioning me. Ur oysters look yummy! I’d also love to try your recipe!
I was reading Ju’s comments abt wiffy and woolly…LOL! I digress. Anyway, I prefer 蚝煎 cos it is drier dish as a whole. If you can make this, then you can have the famous TW street food – Or Ah Mee Sua? But I am not a fan. Kekekkeke
I love oysters but I haven’t tried them cooked this way!
My favourite way of eating oysters are definitely raw hehe..but your stir-fried version looks great too!
I love garlic and I know I will love this dish. I only can’t eat raw oysters. I tried that in HongKong last year and I almost throw out…wow!
