Place the oysters in a bowl and strain the juice from them and then add the oysters' juice to the wine mixture. Fold the oysters into the wine mixture for 4-5 seconds to lighten them a little. Quickly remove from the pan the juices and set them aside. Add the curry powder to the fennel mixture then add the wine mixture and boil for a few minutes. Add the cream to this and boil to reduce and thicken. In a separate pan add the remaining butter and allow it to melt. Add the cucumber and the dill and then stir in the chives and then add the oysters to heat them through. To serve: Spoon the oysters around a large, warmed serving plate (6 per person) and then add the sauce to each plate. Finish off with Sulmar eggs into each oyster shell. Converted by MC_Buster.
