I made this for Thanksgiving as well and mine turned out GREAT!!! You are right about a pan of oyster dressing = one happy man! I’ll be making this again for Christmas and surely again throughout the year. I did sub fresh baked french bread for the challah (that I cubed and let sit out for 24 hours) and dried parsley for fresh.

Yikes! I am so sorry that your dressing failed:( It does sound as though the oysters might have been off. I usually indulge in one before starting to make sure everything is on track. I love raw oysters, too! The juice should smell like the ocean. Regarding the saltiness, did you use canned broth? The amount of sodium in regular canned broth is off the charts! I usually make my own broth, so I didn’t think to clarify low-sodium. I will definitely change that on the recipe.Some of the salty taste might have come from there. Also, I haven’t ever used cornbread for this recipe. Loaves of challah are enormous and very spongy. A little sweet, too. They soak up a lot of liquid! Thank goodness for Stove Top! I used to eat it out of the box when I was little!

I made this for thanksgiving and I must have done something wrong. It was so fishy and so salty. I couldnt serve it but luckily I had stove top in cupboard to save the day. I have to go over this again and see where I went wrong. I didnt use challah but cornbread instead which may be my first mistake. I also didnt use the liquer because it already smelled fishy. I still wonder if my oysters were good or not. I am an oyster lover too, as I can down a dozen raw oysters happily over and over again. I am sure I must have missed something, I just dont know.

By the way, you can use only half of the butter and you’ll still get great results. You can add more chicken stock if your family likes a wet dressing.
