Present oysters on a bed of salt
For oysters to retain all their flavor and freshness in the mouth, the ideal temperature to enjoy them is between 13 and 15°C. Below 6 degrees Celsius, the cold prevents any flavor distinction.
Summary
Present oysters on a bed of salt
Contrary to what is done in many seafood restaurants, it is not advisable to serve oysters on ice but rather to serve oysters on a thick bed of warm coarse salt, in order to preserve all the flavors.
To avoid this, consider placing between the oysters and the ice a fairly thick bed of coarse sel Le Guérandais. This layer of salt will temper the freshness provided by the ice, and your plate will be all the more original.
