Instructions
For the platter
Assemble your platter in your preferred manner. I like to place some items in small bowls, and others directly on the board or plate. Garnish with dill/parsley, lemon wedges and pickled onion. Be sure to provide a "waste" plate for the seafood shells and used lemon wedges.
1 - 2 crab leg clusters, 6 - 10 jumbo shrimp, 6 crawfish, 1 pound live clams, 4 ounces smoked Norwegian salmon slices, 1 tin fish roe, 1 pound mussels, 6 lemon wedges, 1 cup mini pickles, 1/2 cucumber, 1 bunch fresh dill or parsley
For the cocktail sauce
Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and whiskey/cognac/brandy and pepper together. Season to taste with Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice.
1 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tsp mustard, 1 tsp whiskey, cognac or brandy, 1 crack black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice
For the mignonette
Combine all the ingredients in a small, decorative bowl and whisk. Refrigerate before serving and use for the oysters. Keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge.
3/4 cup champagne or cava vinegar, 2 tbsp shallot, 1 quarter apple, 1/2 cucumber, 2 tablespoon chives, 1 teaspoon white pepper, salt
Additions
Crackers or breads of your choice
