Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, combine the pickled cucumbers, red wine vinegar, shallots, and fresh dill. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife, ensuring to keep the liquor in the shell. Place the opened oysters on a serving platter.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Drizzle house hot sauce over each oyster to taste. Spoon the cucumber mignonette over the oysters and serve immediately on a bed of ice.
