    Oysters Rockefeller is a classic seafood dish with a rich, flavorful sauce. It's a delicious way to enjoy oysters and surprisingly easy to make at home. The dish gets its name from John D. Rockefeller, one of the wealthiest Americans of all time, known for his lavish lifestyle. The dish is said to have been created in 1899 in New Orleans, and it has been a favourite ever since. Combining butter, herbs, and other ingredients makes for a decadent, flavorful sauce that pairs perfectly with the oysters.
