Earlier this week i was inspired to ask our local fishmonger, Enzo, where I could get some oysters. The answer was from him, but not until Friday because he'd have to order them in, from Chioggia near Venice.
We got a box of 20, that had 21 in it. Sadly 6 were deceased so we had 15 to consume. Because of the high rate of mortality I decided eating them raw wasn't the best idea, so I started the charcoal BBQ and we had BBQ'd oysters. And LO! They were good! So salty and briny I was very surprised. I was also a bit surprised at their size, the shells were the length of my palm, with good sized oysters inside. All around lovely with the local chenin blanc bubbly.
