1 Review of Hangtown Fry

From: Olympia

On Sep 4, 2007

I give this 5 stars because, contrary to the other Hangtown Fry recipes here, this one is much more authenic and also simpler to make. If you like oysters and omelets like I do, this is the recipe for you...and please forget about using "tinned oysters" for heaven's sake! Original Hangtown Fry used fresh oysters from SF Bay and also shipped in sailing ships from Willapa Bay on the Washington coast. (Oysters could stay fresh for weeks if shipped in seawater.) The only addition I make is salt, pepper, and a bit of cayenne or Tabasco to add zip.
