Broiled Oysters with Fine Herbs
You’ll notice that our recipes tell you to use rock salt in the pan when cooking oysters in their shells.

Every now and then when her family got hungry for oyster soup, she and her sister, Josephine, would head from their Oakwood home down New Bern Avenue in Raleigh to a little “mom-and-pop” grocery for the fresh, juicy shellfish.
