1
Clean Oysters
Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris from the shells.
2
Shuck Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open the shell. Slide the knife along the inside of the top shell to detach the oyster from it, then remove the top shell.
3
Plate Oysters
Place the shucked oysters on a bed of crushed ice on a serving platter to keep them cold and fresh.

4
Add Accompaniments
Arrange lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, hot sauce, and mignonette sauce around the oysters on the platter.
5
Garnish
You can garnish the platter with fresh herbs or additional ice to enhance the presentation.
