I once went out picking oysters on the west coast of Sweden. I tried to bring as many different kinds of toppings for them as I could. I probably ate between 20 or 30 oysters that day. But anyway here's what I tried and I'll rank it in order of preference (best at the top):

> chopped shallot and vinegar mix
> tabasco
> soy sauce
> lemon
> horseradish shavings (though they do work really well with the soy sauce)
> lime

Also putting them on a grill and letting them cook in garlic butter is just heavenly.

neat, im gonna try that next time, when i was in Lisbon they were always served with vinegar pickled something i dont know what was but it was tasty

> vinegar pickled something
Typically it's a mignonette. Red wine vinegar, shallots, and black pepper. Which it seems like >>15305910 also had. I like it, but I can see how some might feel it distracts from the oyster

I love oysters. I like to do them in the style of my local sushi place, with lemon or lime squeezed on top, a dash of ponzu/soy, green onions, and a small dab of sriracha. A little masago if you have it. Yum. I'm also pretty into the classic mignonette. I enjoy cilantro with them as well.

Yes, I do like oysters anon, probably my fav. luxury food when paired with some good sparkling wine like cava or champagne.
I usually have it with a dash mignonette

i ussually go with champagne, something like a jacquart

new years pretty much canceled, so i will definitely take advantage going around to the various supermarkets picking up oysters SUPER cheap after new years

maybe i will even try actually gooking them, never done that before lol!

Ah that sounds like the dream. Picking an oyster straight out of the water and just popping it open and slurping it down

I usually drink cava - it is cheaper due to lack of popularity and marketing like prosseco and champagne yet it is still made using the champagne method and quite tasty. Champagne is for the special occasions since I'm a university student

basically, i just drink jacquart because i have a stupid amount of it, because i take advantage of plummeting prices on things your "supposed" to have on newyears, buying them the day after and with sales, and bulk buying
the point was to build a stock so i wouldnt have to buy for next year, whelp canceled

We have great oysters over here on the west coast, and there's a place famous for serving with a really delicious vinegar sauce.

Give it a try if you can find the ingredients,
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1 large shallot, peeled and minced
1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
1/2 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime

This is really a great time. Scallops are another good one. I grew up doing a lot of scuba diving, and one of my absolute favorite things to eat is fresh scallops, popped open, lightly cleaned, and then eaten with just some nice soy sauce and a little Wasabi.

I like pic related on my oysters. I usually eat them once a month, pick up a box shuck em all, and have various sauces and fry some up.
I also like Saki or rice wine vinegar mixed with mushroom consomme and chopped green onions. I make up random shit to put on my oysters all the time, but the Susie's hot sauce is the best.

Oysters are great. I’ve got an obscure mignonette recipe that not everyone’s cup of tea but give it a shot. Recipe isn’t accurate but figure it out.

Pick a bunch of tarragon and keep the stems, simmer the stems in about a cup of white wine vinegar until reduced by half, strain. Mix tarragon vinegar with about a cup of ketchup add 4 diced shallots, chopped tarragon, chives, pepper and a touch of salt. To taste it should be sour, sweet and absolutely light up your mouth from the floral tarragon. Enjoy with oysters obv.

Seasoned is just salt and sugar added but the proportions are perfect and the taste amazing. Try it out, makes for a perfectly seasoned salad dressing just add oil and fresh garlic plus ginger. Some higher quality brands use extra stuff besides salt and sugar like kombu.

My grandparents held the party and are savants when it comes to preparing and cooking any type of seafood. Since they live in NJ by the shore, they have connections, my grandfather especially since he served in the navy and knows basically the most of the ports near all along the coast of Jersey. That aside, he has someone for his seafood who ALWAYS comes through with top tier ingredients and catch’s that you’d find served at like Michelin star restaurants. Without dragging on any further, guy fucked up, my grandfather fucked up since he can usually smell if it’s a bad batch, and seeing 5 people battle for 2 toilets is it’s own saga.

Haven't had them since. I don't know if it's an allergy or I just got the one bad oyster in the pot, but I won't try to find out again.
