Method
step 1
Make the bloody mary by mixing the tomato juice with the vodka and celery salt. Add the tabasco and worcestershire sauce to your liking (the spicier the better, i think). Finish with a splash of fino sherry.
step 2
Shuck the oysters, remove from the shells and then clean the shells.
step 3
To serve, put an oyster into each shell and spoon over a generous amount of the bloody mary mix. Garnish with a crisp parsley leaf, as well as a few deep-fried capers.
