I found this image scrolling Pinterest after searching molecular gastronomy and decided it was the most unusual and out there one I had found. I looked through the website it took me to but I couldn’t find a recipe or anything.
It looks like the put a shelled oyster inside of a liquid sphere that could possibly be flavored as well and surrounded it buy some sort of spikey plant and flower with either oyster shells or oyster colored spheres, on top it looks like either real caviar or some sort of other flavored small spheres.
I’m guessing they made the sphere kind of how they made the goat cheese in the one video. I’m think they could have put the oyster in the liquid and then used a measuring spoon to drop it into the solidifying solution to keep the oyster encapsulated in the surrounding liquid and preserve the shape. They could have also frozen the liquid ball beforehand but then the oyster might have fallen to the bottom of the sphere instead of floating in the middle so who’s to say.
I think its unusual because seafood is already kind of off putting for some people so putting something already kinda different and weird into something also weird and unfamiliar just seems not very appealing. To me at least, I looked at that and said eww that’s definitely the most unusual thing I’ve seen related to molecular gastronomy. I mean they could have done fruit or something too but they said no, oysters! Why? Just why? Maybe the salt content allowed it to solidify so they just said lets do it since I know it was from an oyster company restaurant page but still, unusual to say the least.
