Okay, this post is not about oysters but it's about having it with sweet, spicy and sour Vietnamese Ginger Lime Sauce. I bought some Malpeque oysters and shucked them at home. They were quite large but thankfully they are not "milky" at all. Well, what can go wrong with freshly shuck oysters with some ginger lime sauce? They were just perfect!!
