For this  dish I was  going for the oyster with pearls idea.  I wanted something that would look like a  pearl and still pack a punch of flavor.  The use of the reverse spherification  technique lends itself to this dish as the centers of the  pearls  stay liquid.  The  pearl is easily broken when eating the oyster causing the  sauce to enhance the  oyster.  Sauce and oyster go together in  one bite.  These can  be  made several hours ahead and  kept in  cold water  until needed.
