If you're going to eat oysters, why not start all-in and try them raw, with mignonette sauce. Oysters, for some an acquired taste, are deliciously savory appetizers when served raw. But it's important to know what to look for when buying them, and you should keep them fresh and cold.
In the United States, there must be a tag displaying when oysters were harvested. When purchasing oysters, look for oysters that have been out of the water less than one week. Look for shells that are tightly closed, with no foul odors.
