“You won’t get drunk from them, but you will be overwhelmed. The oysters served by Edwin Vinke are addictively delicious. As, for that matter, are all his ‘shellfish’. This dish is ideal as an appetizer.”
How to make the Zeeland oysters
- Open the oysters and collect the juice.
- Heat the honey until it becomes a light brown caramel, deglaze with the lime juice, then add the oyster juice and all the other ingredients.
- Let the margarita cool, then serve it on the oysters.
- You can serve a glass of tequila with them, but beer works too. A nice stout, for example, such as Guinness, Kerel Stout, Maximus Diesel 6 or O’Hara’s Irish Stout. Also excellent: Timmermans Lambicus Blanche, a blend of wheat beer and lambic (spontaneous fermentation).
