Blue Oyster
A tier
Blue oysters show steel-blue young caps that fade toward grey with age—same soft oyster cookery with striking colour when fresh. Flavour is mild oyster-typical. Use young for colour; expect fading in the pan. Great for market displays and quick sautés. Not a true blue food dye—colour is skin-deep.
