A couple months later, I was in Normandy for a couple of weeks and lived in a chateau. On a weekend, I drove to Cancale, the oyster capital of France ( I remember NY220 introduced this before). Being an oyster lover, I bought two dozens of palm size oysters for 5 Euros each. This was a very good price. Usually, it costs 10-15 Euros per dozen elsewhere in Normandy for large oysters. Fresh seafood must be enjoyed quickly and I finished a dozen of raw ones right there along the jetty with my 1 Euro oyster opener( I did not have a companion like NY220 depicted). The French oysters are actually better than Miyajima’s. The oyster juice is absolutely clear and has this "pure" salty taste. It has the "crispy" feel when chewed. The sweetness taste diffuses into your cheek....yummyyyyy. I drove back to the chateau with another dozen. The chateau has a grill. I started cooking these large oysters on the grill. At the same time, I was having a Cotes du Rhone. When the off-white oyster juice started simmering, I had my memories of Miyajima came back right to me. Well, my conclusion is : This is the first time a sequel is better than the first one, with Cotes du Rhone. Normandy Kakiyaki, it spells paradise on that afternoon with Cotes du Rhone. |
