Oysters on the half shell: so delicious,
so low-calorie. Photo courtesy of Carrie

Heavy cocktail sauces with horseradish are too much for oysters at their prime. We eat great oysters straight from the shell, without even a dab of citrus juice. But for those who like a bit of garnish, here’s a lovely recipe, courtesy of Charleston, South Carolina’s Charleston Grill and Carrie Bailey-Morey, co-owner of Callie’s Charleston Biscuits, who recently enjoyed them there.
Combine to taste:
Seeded, finely chopped cucumbers
Meyer lemon juice
Meyer lemon zest
Finely chopped mint
Garnish plate with watercress and edible flowers.
