To make the oyster emulsion: Blend the oysters together with their liquids and then gradually add the oil until an emulsion forms. Add a little water if desired to lighten the emulsion. Place in a piping bag and keep chilled.
Wrap each oyster neatly with sea lettuce and place back in the clean shell.
Place three small dots of the oyster emulsion on each oyster, followed by three ramsons.
Carefully dress each oyster with a little extra virgin rapeseed oil and some of the reserved vinegar from the ramsons.
Season with sea salt and garnish with some orache.
