PREPARATION
Egg yolk: Beat the egg yolks very well and transfer to a squeezer bottle.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and brown the garlic. Remove and add the bread. Stir constantly until crisp. Add salt and set aside.
Pickled onion: Chop the onion very finely and place with the water, Manzanilla sherry and sherry vinegar in a vacuum pack. Apply a 100% vacuum.
Powdered anemones: Freeze 6 anemones in liquid nitrogen for 30 seconds. Then freeze-dry for 48 hours at 50ºC under a pressure of 0.03Mb. When ready, grind in the kitchen robot and set aside.
TO SERVE
Place the remaining 4 anemones in the oyster shells and place these on the red-hot coals. When cooked, transfer to a bowl containing sea salt. Top the anemones with the egg yolk, breadcrumbs, pickled onion and, finally, the powdered anemones.
