Oyster perloo

Oyster Perlo, Oyster Purloo, Oyster Pilau (American) (American-Southern)

oysters, rice, onions, celery, bacon

Oyster perloo is a traditional Lowcountry rice dish from South Carolina, built around fresh oysters and rice cooked together in a single pot. The oysters are gently incorporated so their briny flavor infuses the rice, creating a rich and savory dish with a soft, cohesive texture. Often prepared during oyster season, it reflects the coastal abundance of shellfish and the strong influence of Gullah Geechee culinary traditions on regional rice-based cooking.
