ОглавлениеPurists may eat oysters with just lemon and Tabasco, but here are three alternative sauces that marry well with this luxury starter. Allow 4–6 oysters per person, and make sure they are as fresh as can be. Shucking them at home is ideal – alternatively, ask your fishmonger to do it for you. Serve on a large platter of crushed ice or rock salt.
Shallot Vinegar
Also known as mignonette sauce, this is a real classic to serve with oysters. The sharpness of the vinegar cuts through the richness of the shellfish.
