Oyster Preparation

Method

Oyster Serving Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the fresh oysters by inserting an oyster knife into the hinge of the shell and twisting to open it. Remove the top shell and ensure that the oyster remains in the bottom shell with its juices intact.

  2. 2

    Add Thai Mignonette

    Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of Thai mignonette over each oyster. This will add a tangy and zesty flavor that complements the brininess of the oysters.

  3. 3

    Top with Crispy Shallots

    Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of crispy shallots on each oyster. This adds a crunchy texture and rich flavor to the dish.

  4. 4

    Finish with Trout Roe

    Finally, add a small dollop of trout roe on each oyster for a burst of flavor and a beautiful presentation.

  5. 5

    Serve Immediately

    Place the oysters on a serving platter and enjoy immediately while they are fresh and chilled.
