OMG. My wife and I had some Oyster Rockefeller in Florida about 20 years ago and never had any like it since. They were the best we ever had and I now think that this is it. Not spinach like everyone else uses. Time to give this a try. Thank you Chef John. I have got so many great recipes from you I think the one I had was finished with some parmesan, bacon crumb and bread crumb before hitting with torch

[@ElizabethBartley]

Lol 😅

[@Bhatt_Hole]

This so different from what we eat in restaurants, with the multiple cheeses, cream, garlic, and spinach. This recipe is probably fantastic, but it's not going to taste anything like what you are used to ordering. Which, might be a good thing.

[@Jojeeh]

[@luticia]

This looks delicious but unfortunatelly for me it's impossible to eat oyster. Besides I hate herb butter. Nevertheless it looks delicious IF I liked this kind of food :-)

[@compassionplease7380]

Chef John I tried this recipe and it is delicious. I’m from Louisiana and this recipe, if it isn’t Antoine’s, is close--very, very close. Watercress has been rumored to be the ‘secret’ green in Antoine’s recipe, for years. Yet when you peruse the many dozens of versions of OR, few contain watercress. Also, not many have got the herbed butter part down, either. So I think it’s possible that you do indeed “know a guy....”! Thanks!

It seems like a dream to be able to even think of perhaps making this. Looks awesome!

[@nsid983]

Did you know that the side at which the adductor muscle exists, determines if the oyster is left or right handed? :-D

[@MrIliveunderabridge]

nsiddy they has no hands tho.....

[@hector-m-carrillo]

MrIliveunderabridge I think it's the by same principle that a molecule can be "left/right handed" Not sure, just speculation

[@xx-nr6lu]

nsiddy I can tell.. The writing of the left handed oyster is not that good but they are very smart and delicious!

Thank you SO MUCH! I've been losing sleep over that.

[@kentharper2821]

I know it's sacreligiois, but I bake my Oyster Rockefeller on toasted bagette slices instead of in the shell. I pinch some of the bread out of each thick slice before toasting it lightly under the broiler. That makes a depression to hold the oyster. Then I lay the oyster and butter on the slice. After it comes out of the hot over I eat the whole thing. Not authentic but quite tasty.

[@theo-zoneairportinn854]

Why bother flipping them if you're gonna cover them with compound butter anyway?

[@peterr4706]

Don't be tempted to take a sip of Pernod or else you'll have the flavour in your mouth for the rest of the day. It's strong.

[@rbettsx]

Yup. Dilute it 5 very cold water to 1. (Actually I prefer it even weaker) perfect on a hot summer's day.

[@HeatherSpoonheim]

I did shots of Pernod while slurping fresh oysters one Christmas. When I woke up, I felt like I had been drinking scope all night. Apparently that's not how my breath smelled, though.

[@lenom1289]

@@rbettsx Absolutely!

[@chuckiebaby2000]

This looks wonderful. I've had unfortunately on more than one occasion, some bad oysters Rockefeller. The chef paid way too much attention to the topping. I love Chef John. Hope I like this one.. Maybe I'll serve it with his Lobster bisque.. Hello!!

[@dennishunt1590]

Chef John, I am fair dinkum when I says this, I really cannot think of anything that could enhance the delicious flavour of oysters naturale.

[@HeraGEG]

Keep your oyster shells and run them through the dishwasher. You can then reuse them with pre-shucked oysters.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

I live on the Mississippi coast, and finding fresh oysters is no problem, as well as the other ingredients, but where can I find the Pernod?

[@jameshardison5618]

Almost any good liquor store should have it and now many have absinthe again as it’s now legal.

[@djrodney13]

can i substitute the pernod or absinthe with fennel?

[@kuruptzZz]

I would literally kill for some of that herb butter right now with my fish

[@fbabdiver]

so, flavored butter and spices for what? a little oyster? i bet you could serve that butter over cat food and get away with it!

[@jbooks888]

Sometimes he says "CRESS" but sometimes he says "CREST" - it drives me insane.

He does that on purpose.

[@shmoopadnos5699]

u got it right. and i live in new orleans

[@jameshardison5618]

The original recipe from Antoine’s includes watercress and capers. Capers make a difference. Absinthe was the original liquor Pernod or Herbsant we’re substituted when Absinthe became illegal. (Now it’s legal again.) The rock salt is a useful presentation, but it also imitates the crushed ice that raw oysters were served on.

[@mclala2421]

Thank you

[@jameshardison5618]

Capers are a standout in a lot Antoine’s dishes and are a major ingredient that makes the sauce green. Their herbal/nutty flavor after the vinegar cooks off I’ll transform any other recipe you try.

[@shugo0000]

according to the family of the original restaurant, oyster Rockefeller starts with a roux to hold it together along with the breadcrumbs.

[@007spiral]

I already have the man in mind who I plan to seduce with this recipe!!!

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Thanks, I'll see if I can find it.

[@zbsx]

You don't like oysters, so you watch the video and go out of your way to comment. Stop wasting your time and ours. Merry Christmas.

[@lLostTheGame]

~No, I wasn't being sarcastic- and I'm sorry if my comment came across that way. I've only ever seen Chef Johns hands & his profile pic on here- he looks quite dapper, if you ask me :) It was an honest/fun compliment. I'm a new fan, and my family & I have already prepared quite a few of his recipes, AND, they're so freakishly delicious- I've added extra laps to my jogging/extra turns on Wii Dance because I'm so freakishly addicted to his cooking :P Again, sorry if I came across as sarcastic.

[@EvanC0912]

I end up with an overly watery mouth.

[@alanvonau278]

Chef John is absolutely right. The authentic Oyster Rockefeller ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oysters_Rockefeller ) does NOT contain spinach in its topping. I bet that the topping works very well with escargots ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escargot ) too.

[@sherryton]

Chef John, where do you buy these lovely Oysters?

[@351cleavland]

If you owned your own statement it would look as this does-"I think oysters look nasty.....I will not eat these as I imagine they will have a really weak, fishy flavor. Therefore, I don't believe I would find these worth eating." See the difference?

It was a great year because it got made.

Pernod man. Pernod..! Not Perno. 1805 was the year the company was founded...

[@kiwipanda210]

Okay i wasn't trying to rude but chef john is actually obese so he's not really in shape, check out one of his videos where he shows himself.....nevertheless he does have great recipes just can't say the same for his body

[@milkatony]

Merci Chef,They look so good,So now i will go to the sea food bar @ the Palace station & casino to get some,theirare good,but i know yours look so much better! got to go shopping, but in Vegas it hard to find fresh sea food.

[@helldropper]

Yes he did, sorry. :c Us American's were brought up saying erb instead of herb. Like how we say chips instead of crisps, flashlight instead of torch, underwear instead of pants and what ever else there is we say differently.

[@eZONKuppsala]

I prefer the raw ones. I think the only reason people put a rich topping on the cooked ones is because they don't taste as good as the raw ones. I never understood why you should cook an oyster...

[@zbsx]

That butter...I'd put it on oysters, shrimp, scallops, lobster - hell, I'd put it on cereal!

[@johnsheehan977]

Your jokes kill me!Especially followed by the punchline drum sound effect.😆🤣

[@bchen972]

okay i've never eaten "oyster" cooked properly. Meaning I've always eaten rubbery oyster. So like is it THAT much different? IDK cuz like to me it looks kinda disturbing the oyster shape.

[@slobomotion]

You go! I think some fennel would work okay, but what a cool idea, a bit o' wild booze!

[@stefstuf2]

What really drove me nuts was that you mispronounced 'watercress'. There is no 't' on the end. Anyway, looks pretty tasty, even though I'm not a huge fan of oysters. Nice

[@nadkudo1798]

I never got in to oysters. They remind me of eggs when you don't cook them long enough. Slimy and gooey and just an awful texture in your mouth.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I would season the butter with Knorr concentrated stock.

[@cainsolo1]

Just out of curiosity, since I'm allergic to cilantro, can watercress be used as a suitable substitute for cilantro?

[@SuperJumpReviews]

What does Anaset mean?

[@slothape]

Anisette, meaning it has an anise flavour.

[@nickl.6808]

Anisette is a type of liqueur. "Anise" is a type of herb with a flavor similar to fennel or licorice.

[@SuperJumpReviews]

Nick L. thank you for explaining that :)

The "Badum TSHHH!" was a great touch after the Oyster Ghandi gag! xD @Craig Levorsen is absolutely right, by the way, guys 'n' girlz! You're better off using Ouzo if you can't get hold of Pernod. Absinthe isn't just more expensive, but I feel that it's far harsher than Pernod, and doesn't have as much of an aniseed kick.
