1
Shuck the Oysters
Using a shucking knife, carefully open the oysters by inserting the knife into the hinge of the shell and twisting to pop it open. Remove the top shell and carefully detach the oyster from the bottom shell, ensuring the oyster remains in its liquor.
2
Arrange on Ice
Place the shucked oysters on a platter filled with crushed ice to keep them cold and fresh.
3
Serve with Accompaniments
Serve the oysters with lemon wedges, mignonette sauce, and hot sauce on the side for guests to add to their liking.
