Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz raw oysters
  • 16 oz raw clams
  • 16 oz cockles or can sub cooked mussles

FOR MIGNONETTE SAUCE:

FOR CRAYFISH (OPTIONAL):

  • 16 oz raw crayfish
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon garlic broth base or can sub seafood stock

Instructions
 

  • Mince the shallot, garlic and horseradish. Add to a bowl with the apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, red pepper flakes, fresh parsley and oregano. Season with salt. Chill for at least thirty minutes.
  • Thoroughly scrub the shells under cold water until they are clean. Debeard the mussels . Discard any shells that are open and do not close when tapped. Keep chilled until ready to cook.
  • Pour the water into a shallow pan with a lid. Stir in the garlic base until dissolved. Season with salt to taste. Bring to a simmer. Add the shells, flat side down. Cover and cook for 3-6 minutes, until all the shells are open. Discard any that do not open. Remove from the broth. Add the crayfish, if using, to the broth and boil for 4-5 minutes, until cooked/heated through and bright red.
  • Pry the oysters apart (they will not open like the clams) and serve on half shells. Serve warm or chilled. Gently loosen the meat from all the shells, but leave it on the shell for serving. Spoon a teaspoon or two of the vinegar mix onto each shell and serve while plotting the demise of the diner. Enjoy!
