Fresh oysters are a perfect starter for a special occasion or celebration. These dressings aren’t meant to be cooked but are a perfect way to cut through the creaminess of fresh oysters and to add a zing to complement their natural flavour.
Get your oysters shucked for you at your local fish market, place them on a large serving dish on a bed of crushed ice, spoon over a mix of the bright dressings and you’ll be the most popular person at the party!
