Recipe: Mignonette, Cocktail and Sour Kick Thai Chili Sauce

Truth be told, we like eating our oysters naked, without any garnishes or condiments, because that’s how you get the purest, unadulterated essence of the oyster. However, if you have a lot of the same type of oyster, we understand that it might be time to spice things up and get a little saucy. Here are our super simple, dump-and-stir recipes for mignonette, cocktail sauce and our house special Sour Kick Thai Chili sauce. Enjoy!
