Oysters/Raw Bar
Another of our favorite applications, oysters have a delicate, subtle flavor. An acquired taste for some, they capture the briny salt of the sea with a creamy texture that elevates them as a delicacy for seafood lovers.
Interestingly, the history of sauces normally served with oysters often conflict with the great taste. As our friends at Island Creek Oysters note, cocktail sauce originated as a strong-tasting sauce designed to mask the taste of rancid oysters, in the days when shaky refrigeration made that a common concern.
Many still fall back onto cocktail sauce today, despite the fact it completely overwhelms the flavor of the actual oyster!
And that's why Floyd & Fred's works closely with top oyster purveyors, like Island Creek. The key lime juice/habanero combo gives the oyster just the right added zing, while never getting in the way of enjoying the complex, amazing flavor of the oyster itself. Retire the cocktail sauce and experience your oysters (and all shellfish) in all their glory!
Splash a few drops on your next round of raw bar oysters. Amazing on BBQ oysters as well (simply place oysters in a pan over medium heat or on a BBQ grate; when they pop and split, remove the top part of the shell, add Floyd & Fred's and enjoy!)
