Weigh the dill, then combine with double the amount of rapeseed oil. Transfer to a blender and blitz on high speed for a few minutes, then transfer to a sieve lined with muslin cloth set over a bowl to strain

When ready to serve, shuck the oysters and arrange on serving plates (or 1 large platter). Combine the grapefruit juice, soda water and soya lethicin in a bowl and blitz with a hand blender until frothy and large bubbles appear. Dress the oysters with the cucumber followed by the grapefruit foam, then finish with a few drops of the dill oil
