Preparation

Open oysters, saving juice in a saucepan. Remove oysters from shells and place on a baking sheet. Add fish stock and shallots to oyster juice. Reduce a little, add cream and reduce to about 3/4 cup (180 mL).

At the last moment, add fresh herbs. Top each oyster with a slice of Canadian Camembert and place under broiler for 1 minute. Arrange oysters in shallow bowls and pour over sauce.
