Method
Preparing the Oysters
Select and Clean Oysters
Choose 12 fresh oysters from a reputable seafood supplier. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any grit or sand. Scrub the shells with a brush if necessary.
Open the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster. Twist the knife to pop it open and slide the blade around the inside edge to detach the meat from the shell. Discard the top shell and leave the oyster in the bottom shell.
Prepare the Garnish
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside. Cut the lemon into wedges for serving.
Making the Accompanying Sauce
Chop Shallots
Finely chop the shallots and place them in a small bowl.
Mix Sauce Ingredients
In the bowl with the chopped shallots, add red wine vinegar, fresh horseradish, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Serving
Plate the Oysters
Arrange the opened oysters on a serving platter with the shells facing up. Sprinkle sea salt over the oysters.
