Three little snapshots of what makes oysters special, bright and simple with lemon, bracingly sharp with mignonette, and alive with heat and lime in a Thai-style dressing.

Ingredients

  • 12 fresh oysters, shucked and served on ice

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

blank

  • 2 tbsp finely chopped shallot

  • 4 tbsp red wine vinegar

  • Β½ tsp cracked black pepper

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 tsp fish sauce

  • Β½ tsp sugar

  • 1 small red chilli, very finely sliced

  • A few coriander leaves, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

    1. Serve the oysters chilled with lemon wedges on the side. Just a few droplets just before eating. That’s all it needs.

    1. Mix the shallot, vinegar, and pepper together. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes so the flavours mellow. Spoon a little over each oyster just before serving.

    1. Stir the lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar together until the sugar dissolves. Add the chilli and coriander. Taste β€” it should be balanced between salty, sour, and bright. Spoon lightly over the oysters just before serving.
