Yellow Oyster
A tier
Yellow oysters are neon-gold clustered caps with nutty, slightly fragrant flavour and fragile texture—heat fades colour toward tan. Very different visual from grey oysters. Gentle but hot cook; use young clusters. Beautiful raw garnishes only if pristine and intended. Farmers-market specialty.
