About this listen

Rocky Mountain oysters are also called mountain oysters, meat balls, or prairie oysters in Canada. Despite their name, Rocky Mountain oysters are not actually oysters or shellfish of any kind. The term "oyster" was likely used due to the shape and texture of the dish.

They are considered a regional delicacy in some parts of the United States and are typically prepared by breading and frying the meat.

Rocky Mountain oysters are a dish that is often deep-fried, breaded and seasoned. They have been a part of western American cuisine for over a century.

The origins of Rocky Mountain oysters are somewhat unclear, but it is believed that they were first eaten by ranchers and cowboys in the American West as a way to use up parts of the animal that were not typically consumed. The Rocky Mountain Oysters were often removed from young male animals to improve the taste and quality of the meat, so they were readily available.

The dish has since become a regional delicacy in the Western United States, especially in states like Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, where they are commonly served in bars and restaurants.
