The horseradish sauce is what really makes these oysters special. And its flexible as well as easy. Grandma sometimes used sour cream in place of the yogurt. Even heavy cream worked well. She used minced green onions in place of the chives to give the sauce a deliciously different flavor, and a chopped sour pickle turned it into the best tartar sauce you'd ever eaten.
