The original Oysters Rockefeller was developed at Antoine’s Restaurant in New Orleans in 1899! Why did they call it Rockefeller? Legend has it that a customer, upon eating this new oyster dish proclaimed “Why this is as rich as Rockefeller” and Oysters Rockefeller was born. This is AIP Oyster Bar so ours has been adapated to be fully AIP compliant, but still every bit as rich and delicious.
Oysters are packed with iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc and Vitamin B-12. Some people may be intimidated by preparing oysters, but they are actually very simple to prepare. It is important to examine the oysters you have purchased. Throw away any that have broken shells. If you see one that is open, tap on the shell. If it closes that means it is alive and healthy. If it doesn’t close, throw it away! At the same time if you are serving Steamed Oysters and there is one that doesn’t open, throw it away!
