Finger Lime
about this product

Finger limes are a real citrus surprise, when you cut them open, tiny “citrus pearls” pop out like caviar. They add a fresh, tangy burst to seafood, salads, desserts and even cocktails. Use them as a finishing touch for extra flavour, texture and a beautiful, premium look on the plate.

Oysters with Finger Limes

Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 0 min
Total time: 10 min
Serves: 4 (as a starter)

Ingredients

  • 12 fresh oysters, shucked (keep as much oyster liquor as possible)

  • 2–3 finger limes (any colour), halved lengthways

  • ¼ tsp crushed native pepper (or freshly ground black pepper)

  • Optional: crushed ice, lemon or lime wedges for serving

Method

  1. Prepare oysters: Place oysters (in their shells) on a platter over crushed ice to keep them chilled.

  2. Extract pearls: Cut the finger limes in half lengthways. Gently squeeze or scrape out the citrus pearls (vesicles).

  3. Top oysters: Spoon about ¼ teaspoon of finger lime pearls onto each oyster. Sprinkle a pinch of crushed native pepper (or black pepper).

  4. Serve: Serve immediately so the citrus pearls bring a fresh, poppable bite with the natural oyster liquor.
