Live Oysters La Boudeuse by David Hervé

This insolent oyster is well-named; a special and audacious oyster that has kept its very small and round size. She simply never wanted to grow-up, up and hides, in her shell, her sweet and succulent flesh is like a treasure. Her mischievous, smooth, and regressive taste will make you want to give in.

Her attractive iodine taste will make her become the perfect partner at each meal. With rich energy intake and vitamins, she is also light and an easy to match to any preparation she will always know how to stand out from the crowd.

To be savored with friends around an aperitif or as delicate appetizer.

How to serve an oyster?

Start by sorting through your oysters, they all should be tightly closed. Those that are open and will not close when tapped on a hard surface need to be discarded. Open them following the following video tutorials. Remove the first water juice just after the opening which is only composed of seawater. The oyster will recreate a second one much more flavourful.  Serve the oysters immediately. Putting them on an ice bed would hide some flavors.
