“The success of this lies entirely on shucking the oysters immediately before serving,” says Sean Moran of Sean’s in Sydney, Bondi. “For a puritan all that’s needed then is a wedge of lemon, maybe, or another high note like tarragon or shallot vinegar. Allow four to six oysters per person, I prefer Sydney rocks to the larger Pacific oysters, and anything from Tasmania will surely rock your boat for pristine flavour.”
