Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Mignonette Sauce

In a small bowl, combine red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallots, and fresh cracked black pepper. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

2

Shuck the Oysters

Using a shucking knife, carefully open each Blue Point oyster, making sure to keep the liquor (juice) inside the shell. Place the opened oysters on a serving platter with ice.

3

Serve

Drizzle the mignonette sauce over the oysters, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
