RE: Taste of Sunday: My favourite fish
Hey @jaynie,
Do you know what I did? I shared your response with my wife, and she was absolutely delighted. It turns out you both are oyster lovers!
Generally, we eat oysters with bread (chapati) or rice. While most of our family prefers to prepare them in curry form, I usually avoid that and opt for shallow frying with just a little bit of salt and homemade masala made by my mum. There are different ways of cooking oysters, depending on the community's style.
I also like to squeeze a bit of lemon over them to add a tangy flavor. When it comes to oysters, I often prepare an oyster omelet in a Korean style. It's easy to make and takes just about 7-8 minutes. I actually learned the recipe from a YouTube short. Just this morning, I made it for breakfast. :)
Prawns, or as we call them here 'Kolambi', have their own unique charm. They're prepared in various ways—curry style, cooked with rice, or fried. The most famous dish is Prawns Rice (Kolambi Rice).
There’s something about the market’s vibe that’s amazing—the beautiful colors, flavors, shapes, and even the soundscape. I love the whole experience, which is why I realized I enjoy visiting it so much. :)
well, I mean whats not to love!!! :D I know some people call them "snot balls" haha - but they don't know what they are talking about lol.
Omgaaaawsh! You are shifting my entire outlook on oysters! I suddenly feel really one dimensional HAHAHA!!! That sounds SPECTACULAR!!!!
Oooooh ok! BOTH of those methods sound really good. I can't remember exactly how the "warm ones" I had were prepared, but it wasn't like you are suggesting. That sounds super tasty! Thinking about it - I have had them warm elsewhere and those were very nice... they were in a panko crumbing. so deep fried I suspect... a little like you are suggesting.
Oh they do indeed!!!! I absolutely LOVE them!
I'll take two servings please. I also love them on rice - spiced rice and then with the prawns cooked in garlic butter - so all the butter goes into the rice - YUM!
Oh I will second that! We have markets here too - not quite as extensive as the one you were at, but I totally get what you are saying about the vibe!
Hey @jaynie,
Yeah, very few people truly appreciate oysters—they're definitely in a category of their own! 😊
I should try them with a panko crust sometime... sounds delicious. Prawns in garlic butter? I can already imagine the taste—absolutely mouthwatering. I’ll have to give that a try next time.
It’s definitely a vibe worth experiencing. If you ever come to India, we'll visit together! 😊
That would be awesome - we can have a prawn and oyster extravaganza haha!!! :D
