Seattlelandia, The Oysterfella Skank
- 24 super fresh oysters
- 1 cup super good white wine vinegar
- 2 shallots chopped
- 1 tablespoon grated horseradish (or use prepared)
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon roughly chopped
- Ground black pepper
- Shuck the oysters without wounding yourself.
- Arrange them over individual plates over either chipped ice or coarse salt.
- Quickly, using just a fork and remaining ingredients mix your mignonette. It is best to present this in very small bowls to accompany each plate.*
- *Note to cook: some guests might not be ready for the horseradish pop. I was serving this to friends awhile back. One of my friends was consuming the second oyster he had ever eaten in his life---the first was consumed five minutes before---his eyes lit up and he started blowing snot, not exactly good tableside behavior. So perhaps advise that horseradish is hot.
