Apple cider Mignonette
This easy mignonette recipe pairs perfectly with a few dozen Fanny Bay oysters (available at the Fanny Bay Oyster Bar & Shellfish Market in downtown Vancouver at 762 Cambie Street or at Vancouver Island Seafood Shop in Fanny Bay).
This is the best way to highlight a B.C. oyster while still maintaining the crisp freshness and not overpowering the natural flavors of the oyster.
