Cold Smoked Angasi Oysters

• 16 large angasi (flat) oysters
• 250 g (9 oz) maple wood chips

Shuck the oysters and release them from their shells, reserving all juices. Strain the juices through a fine sieve. Place the shucked oysters back into the shells with an equal amount of the strained juice per oyster.

Set the oysters on a bed of rock salt on a tray so they are sitting flat. Put the oysters into a cold smoking apparatus with the maple wood chips and smoke gently for 1 ho
