I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t.<br \/>\nDesnuda is a wine bar and cevicheria, so this is not your typical bistro or fish market oyster bar. Hip dance music, some of it Latin tinged, played while palm fans flapped.

Slightly dry, the Spanish wine worked perfectly.<br \/>\nBarback Luis shucked and served my oysters. In a place this small, everything is on display, so I saw Luis sniff every oyster before he plated it. Dominic said he&#8217;d smelled an off oyster in his latest shipment of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oysterguide.com\/maps\/mass-and-ri\/marthas-vineyard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Martha&#8217;s Vineyard bivalves<\/a> so he said they had to sniff all of them as a precaution. Bad oysters happen, and I appreciated that care.<br \/>\nI also loved the unusual presentation. Each oyster came with a tiny dollop of one of three sauces: Shallot jelly, ginger shallot relish or chipotle mignonette. They were all a delicious change from usual oyster accompaniments, but the chipotle in particular knocked me out. I&#8217;ve had plenty of hot sauce with oysters but something about the heat and the smokiness seemed perfect.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5813\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5813\" style=\"width: 402px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5813\" alt=\"Desnuda oysters come topped with a dollop of three different sauces.\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/newvinegrowing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/desnuda-oysters.jpg\" width=\"402\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/newvinegrowing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/desnuda-oysters.jpg 402w, https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/newvinegrowing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/desnuda-oysters-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/staging.communify.me\/newvinegrowing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/desnuda-oysters-370x493.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5813\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Desnuda oysters come topped with a dollop of three different sauces.<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nLuis said they change oyster varieties frequently. These had big dramatic shells, looping up above the smaller oysters, which thankfully smelled just fine. They were mild, a little chewy, and perfectly complimented by the condiments.<br \/>\nBonus: Truffle popcorn.
