I can remember when smoked oysters and mussels were very ‘in’ as a starter with pre dinner
drinks and, although not at all trendy these days they still have their place. A few smoked oysters added to a simple oyster soup gives a real boost in flavour. Keep an eye open for ‘specials’ and buy for
your store cupboard, and put the freshest buys to the back of the cupboard so that the supply is always rotating.
