One of the mouth-watering recipes in our ultimate East Coast seafood boil guide. Enjoy the salty and savoury taste of the Altantic with oysters and dulse.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 mini cucumber

  • 1 tbsp dulse flakes, or finely chopped dulse

  • 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp cold water

  • 24 East Coast oysters, scrubbed clean

Instructions

  • Peel and cut cucumber in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard seeds. Finely chop cucumber into small cubes. (You should have about 2 tbsp.)

  • Stir cucumber with dulse flakes, rice vinegar and water in a small bowl.

  • Fill a platter with crushed ice (or kosher salt) to make a secure bed for oysters to sit on.

  • Shuck oysters and arrange on platter. Serve with dulse mignonette on the side.

Make-ahead tip

Dulse mignonette can be made 1 day in advance. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

No shuck tip

Don’t have a shucker? Grill oysters instead. Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Place oysters flat-side up on grill. Cover and barbecue until shells begin to open, 2 to 6 min. Remove each to a platter as it is done. (Discard any oysters that do not open.) When cool enough to handle, gently slip a small, sharp knife between the shells and carefully slice to release the oyster from the top shell. Remove the top shell, taking care not to pour out the juices.
