About Ostrich, oyster, cooked
Ostrich oyster, cooked, follows the same pattern as the raw cut but with moisture cooked out and protein concentrated. The oyster muscle in ostrich is small and sits near the pelvis, and because it is not a load-bearing muscle, it tends to be more tender than the larger leg cuts even after cooking. Fat remains modest. The cooked meat has a firm but yielding texture and a clean, mild flavor. Because the oyster is a small cut, it is typically served as medallions or sliced into strips. It is one of the more tender ostrich cuts and a good starting point for cooks new to preparing this meat.
