I ate half a dozen Loch Fyne oysters last weekend. 2 straight-up, 1 with a wasabi+cucumber+mirin seasoning, 1 with red wine vinegar+ shallots, and 2 with Tabasco mixed with a tiny bit of agave nectar of all things. They were all fantastic. But I have to say that the tobasco one was my favourite. It had everything- the lovely saltiness and amazing flavour of the oyster, paired with heat and sourness from the tobasco, and a very subtle sweetness from the added agave nectar. Loch Fyne and other Atlantic oysters (and ones from the North Sea, and i suppose it's technically the Hebridean sea with the Loch Fyne oysters) taste different from one's I've had in the US, even on the east coast. They taste sweeter in the US, and a LOT sweeter on the West Coast. One is not better than the other, they're just different, and all so good in their own ways.
