oysters Rockefeller
Broiled topped shellfish
Oysters Rockefeller is a dish of oysters on the half shell topped with a rich green sauce of butter, herbs, and breadcrumbs, then baked or broiled.
The sauce traditionally includes spinach or other greens, though recipes vary.
Named for the Rockefeller family's wealth—the dish is that rich.
We started with oysters Rockefeller and champagne.
