Star Ingredient: Geisha Fancy Smoked Oysters

There is nothing more satisfying than a traditional Southern oyster po'boy sandwich—until you consider the time and effort it takes to shuck the fresh oysters and then deep fry them. This deliciously simple variation, using smoked oysters sold in tins at the supermarket and a tangy lemon dressing, is ready in one-tenth the time.

Our Pairing Suggestion

A crisp California sparkling wine will provide a refreshing contrast to the briny oysters and the tangy dressing.
