Oysters and Accompaniments
Method
Preparation and Serving
Prepare the Oysters
Using a clean oyster knife, shuck each oyster carefully, being mindful of the shell and the oyster itself. Remove the top shell, leaving the oyster on the bottom shell intact. Place the shucked oysters on a tray or platter.
Chill the Oysters
On a large serving platter, layer the bottom with crushed ice to create a bed for the oysters. Place the shucked oysters on top of the ice to keep them chilled and fresh.
Prepare Accompaniments
Cut the lemons into wedges and place them in a small bowl. Prepare the cocktail sauce by placing it in a serving dish. If using fresh horseradish, place it in a separate dish for easy access.
Serve
Arrange the oysters on the ice and serve immediately with the lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, hot sauce, and fresh horseradish on the side for guests to customize their oysters to taste.
