Oysters

Oysters are marine bivalve mollusks regarded as a culinary delicacy around the world. Their meat is juicy and salty with a delicate mineral flavor reminiscent of the sea breeze. They are most commonly eaten raw, directly from the shell with a drop of lemon juice or hot sauce. However, they can also be baked, grilled, steamed, or added to soups and sauces. They are an excellent source of zinc, B vitamins, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. In Europe, the flat oyster and the Pacific oyster are the most common varieties. When selecting fresh oysters, it is important that the shells are tightly closed or close when tapped. They are a symbol of culinary luxury and elegance.
