A taste experience to live: taste a locally produced Portuguese oyster, the famous Setúbal Special.
There are flavors that we will not forget ...
The first time I ate an oyster in Portugal.
The renowned oyster farmer Célia Rodrigues hands me an open oyster, once seized, I observe it, the shell nicely pearly, the flesh is pastel, almost silvery.
It gives off a scent of spray, salt.
Even today, when you open one far from the seaside, you only need to close your eyes to be transported to the coast.
A tasteful postcard.
The taste, precisely. Iodine. Fresh.
Quickly swallowed.
If the sea has one flavor, this is it.
Light nutty palate.
Lemon? Vinegar sauce?
I love it by nature.
Proust has his madeleine and I ... I have the oyster from the Bay of Setúbal.
