Steve, not seen oysters for years. The first time I tasted one was at
Chesapeake Bay and thought I was going to barf. But back in Canberra got them
from a fishmonger and loved them. I have two oyster plates I bought in Sydney
at the Cross🤔😜. back in the good old days. The plates hold six oysters with an
indentation in the middle for sauce. I used to like them with a squeeze of
lemon. Remember how famous Sydney rock oysters were? The plates are back in
Spain never to be used again.😩😰

Hi Hal
Oysters are ridiculously priced in restaurants IMO – usually an minimum number
order. However, oysters in restaurants like this come from premium sources like
the south coast of my state NSW – basically south of where i live , or coffin
bay in south Australia – ie – clean and pristine waters.
I’ve eaten oysters in many places around the world and these are still the best
IMO – about 100 miles south of my place:

I NEVER eat plain cold shellfish out (excepting sashimi or sushi) – I would
much rather go to a fishmongers then eat at home – you don’t need to do much
other than prep and a sauce or 2. It’s also easy enough to fossick for your own
if you know how and where, though now close enough to be pillaged by the
weekend city day trippers who try to strip out anything edible…
Soo now my oyster sauce – a melange of this and that tweaked. Goes good with
most cold fresh shellfish.
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp rice vinegar
1tsp low salt soy
1 tsp sesame oil
Pepper and chilli to taste.
Put all in a dish and whisk (I use a micro whisk) until oil is emulsified.
Adjust to taste (maybe a little more rice vinegar)
Cheers
Steve

That is still a lot of money for an oyster. Wonder if that is a service or
plate and more than one oyster? Maybe I am spoiled in New Orleans and even
around here on oysters. I still remember when Kelly was buying them by the bag
not that long ago. I remember when I got a basket full when I was the Texas
gulf coast. – Hal

Camera yes – photo’s no – just enjoying the moment…
The menu was good – no foams, spheres or smears ;-)
We also climbed to the summit of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (bridge climb) now
that COVID has brought prices back to a “sensible” local value (about 60% of
what it was last year).

Hal – AUD is worth roughly 76 cents per USD.

Hi All
We went here for Jens birthday for a few days sojourn in Sydney. It’s a lot
better than the generic name sounds… Fantastic food and view of the Harbour
Bridge well worth a visit if anyone in Sydney wants to splash out some cash….

For the record, I had the WA Octopus and the John Dory washed down with A
tAssie Josef Chromey Savv Blanc.
Jen had a kingfish Carpaccio and the swordfish
Cjeers
