Chef notes
Oysters are an elegant way to kick off any date night. They are simple yet impressive, and completely delicious — especially when topped with hot horseradish, spicy cocktail sauce and savory mignonette.
Technique tip: Keeping the oysters on ice will ensure they stay fresh and perfectly chilled.
