Tradition is a word heard frequently around the holidays, and one of the greatest seasonal traditions in the Lowcountry is the oyster roast. This favorite event is steeped in history as evidenced by Native American shell rings found throughout the region; a sure sign that even many hundreds of years ago, folks have been enjoying the sweet, briney goodness of oysters. In addition to copious amounts of paper towels, the classic condiments for an oyster roast include saltine crackers, cocktail sauce, mignonette sauce (a piquant sauce made of shallots and vinegar) , lemon wedges, and hot sauce. Of course, purists will say they are best enjoyed slurped right out of the shell with nothing but their natural juices known as “liquor”.
