        			This fourth installment of The Louisiana Seafood Bible explores the fascinating world of the oyster, from seed grounds to shucking house. Through a series of essays and anecdotes, this volume guides readers through the oyster life cycle, a trip on an oyster boat, and times in the lives of the Cajun-French and Croatian immigrants who work the industry. Information about shucking, storing, and freezing oysters, as well as health and food safety tips, rounds out this all-encompassing resource.Whether oysters are baked with mushrooms, topped with crabmeat, or placed in an English muffin and smothered in a milk-based sauce for the perfect Oysters Jaubert, their aroma carries the scent of adventure. Compiled by Jerald and Glenda Horst, recipes range from traditional favorites like Oysters Rockefeller to creative combinations such as Seafood Muffulettas.Throughout history, the oyster has developed from the fare of the poverty-stricken to an exclusive culinary treasure. Its fascinating story and versatility in the kitchen make it one of Louisiana&apos;s more intriguing seafoods.Jerald Horst gained his intimate knowledge of the seafood industry while a professor of fisheries science at the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center. One of his assignments was to develop better methods of catching, processing, and marketing seafood. He is a past president of the Louisiana Outdoor Writers Association and the Louisiana Association of Professional Biologists and is a member of the Louisiana Chapter of the American Fisheries Society. Jerald writes regularly for the Louisiana Sportsman magazine.Glenda Horst, the daughter of a commercial fisherman, was born and raised in Bayou Sorrell, Louisiana. She learned the basics of Cajun cooking from her mother and has been perfecting seafood recipes ever since. Her creations were often featured in Jerald&apos;s fisheries newsletter, Lagniappe.The Horsts, authors of the previous volumes in The Louisiana Seafood Bible Series, which have received both local and national media attention, reside in Franklinton, Louisiana.

Upon the conclusion of his brilliant investigation he provides a diverse treasure trove of recipes for the enjoyment of this most delicious resource.&quot;-Jyl Benson, editor in chief, Louisiana Cookin&apos; magazineand Kitchen and Culture partner&quot;The best cooks in my experience are those who know most about their ingredients. Jerald and Glenda Horst, after their three decades of academic and practical study of Louisiana seafood, are better informed on that subject than anyone else I know. Their seafood bibles are at my right hand as I write my own recipes, reviews, articles, and books.&quot;-Tom Fitzmorris, food critic and radio personality, The Food Show with Tom FitzmorrisJerald and Glenda Horst guide readers on a tour of the Louisiana oyster industry and all of its delicious possibilities in the fourth volume of their Louisiana Seafood Bible Series.
