The one who offers a specialized home catering service, especially in oyster bar lists the nine elements to check before, during or after the opening of the oysters.
Before opening
1.The knock
The best thing is to knock two oysters together. Tu en prends une à plat dans le creux de ta main et tu prends le dos de l’autre, le bout pointu par où tu l’ouvres, et tu cognes sur l’huître qui est dans ta main. Si ça fait un son creux et que ça résonne un peu, c’est que l’huître est soit vide soit sèche à l’intérieur,
explique-t-il.So you have to throw it away.
2.The smell
The bad smell is also a sign that the oyster is no longer adequate for consumption.Important fact to know, it can feel even before you open it. Tu peux ouvrir une caisse de cent huîtres et savoir qu’il y en a une de morte juste par l’odeur. C’est une odeur de décomposition assez puissante
, détaille-t-il.
3.The viscosity
At the touch, if the shell is a little viscous, most of the time, it is bad sign.
4.The seaweeds
If there are small layers of algae on the top, it is often because the oyster is dead.She started rotting and developing bacteria.So you shouldn't eat it.
5.Hourish
Sometimes the oyster is a little open.Just enough for you to see a little inside. Les huîtres ne font pas comme les moules.Even if you brews, they will not close, he said.So if it is a little open, you can throw it directly.
During the opening
6.Ease
When it's too easy to open, it's a bad omen.That does not mean that she is at an advanced putrefaction stage.It can only be a few days, so there are only small subtle changes.On the other hand, when you have the impression that it opens on its own, it is a sign that she is already dead.It is certain that it can only be an oyster that opens easily, so it is better to undergo with another thing from this list.
After opening
7.The smell (yes, yes, again!))
Il faut toujours sentir une huître avant de la servir
, précise le gars des huîtres.Basically, the oyster has no smell or simply subtle arguments of algae and sea.If it smells something else, for example a fishy smell and you see small bubbles on the surface, you have to get rid of it.It is a sign that the oyster is no longer very fresh.
8.Drying
You have to be careful with the oysters that seem dry.Those which are transported in wooden cases will tend to be drier because the wood absorbs moisture.
An oyster, if she is alive, will redo her water.Once opened and peaked, it will spit a little juice.So it is possible that you place a dry oyster on a plate and that after a few minutes, water appears. Ça, c’est signe qu’elle est encore en vie,
explique le professionnel.
9.The colour
When you open it, if the liquid is blackish and the oyster is gray-brown, don't ask yourself any questions.She can only take one direction and it is that of the trash.
