this seafood delicacy is known the world
over as an aphrodisiac hi I’m Rebecca
Brayton and welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be learning all you need to
know about oysters give me tips or
suggestions for a first-timer with
oysters who’s never tried was just
before find an oyster shucker that you
can trust if you have an oyster that is
anything less than 90% of how excellent
it should be and how fresh it should be
you’re gonna have a bad experience I
can’t tell you I’ve got 10 people a week
who come in say I don’t like oysters
they suddenly fall in love with them
feel like I was missing this for years
it’s not fair
so that’s that’s my advice fine to shuck
who you trust now where are some of the
most popular or prominent oyster species
from well that depends where you’re from
the French love their oysters so they
will argue that their oysters the best
New Zealand oysters are amazing just
spectacular oysters and creamy seaweed
II just standing standing on a New
Zealand Bay in the fall amazing I am
partial to Massachusetts oysters and
through Maine I found their sweetness
the water the complexity really great
sample different oysters enjoy different
oysters and you will find if you’re an
East Coast West Coast European person
and you stick with that how our oysters
best is served really if you want to
respect the oyster take it
chi1 without anything you have another
one you have six oysters play with it
you put a little mini net on finely
diced shallots we do champagne vinegar
and finally – a lot to the restaurant
here which I find complement an East
Coast oyster gives a nice effervescence
its sweetness put a little horseradish
on a West Coast oyster a little bit of
lemon you can play once you’ve
appreciated the oyster but for me try
one without anything respect it and then
we can
what other flavors foods drinks pair
well with oysters well one of my
favorite favorite pairings would really
surprised a lot of people is taking a
West Coast oyster and I pair it with a
little chilled shot of Hendricks gin and
because those oysters have this natural
cucumber and seaweed flavor
you drink the gin and then you eat the
oyster and they – just slide together
perfectly and for me that’s the essence
of pairing or to just meet and just like
silk sheets just like absolutely
beautiful if you’re looking to buy
oysters for yourself at home what
exactly should you be looking for number
one is same with finding a trucker you
trust to find a fishmonger you trust now
not all fish mongers know about oysters
they will have oysters but perhaps they
don’t know about them so find one that
does second thing is the most important
thing I look for is ask for the harvest
date the harvest date is the day the
oyster was taken out of the water you
want that to be as close to when you’re
purchasing oyster as possible nice
weight in your hand way I’m out in your
hand they feel like they’re full also
give a little tap take twisters and tap
them together if it sounds hollow and
there’s not much inside you want a big
full beautiful oyster is there any
special way to store them store them
upside down what happens is an oyster
doesn’t move through its whole life so
all it does is open its mouth to feed
and closes mother open its mouth closed
that’s it
now in shipping or if you keep them at
home if you have your oyster store down
he’s a little thirsty is gonna open his
mouth all the liquids gonna fall out
it’s gonna dry out you’re gonna lose
your oyster you keep them like this you
got an extra four five six days thank
you very much and thank you very much
