Instructions

  • When oysters open, pry the top shell off and discard, leaving oysters with their liquor in the shells
  • Mix together a little lemon juice, white wine and dill in a small bowl, and spoon onto the oysters
  • When the liquid is bubbling and the meat has firmed up, remove oyster to a serving platter, being careful not to spill liquid.
