Oysters
Method
Preparation
Prep the Oysters
Carefully clean the oysters under cold running water to remove any grit or sand. Use a brush if necessary.
Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, gently insert the blade into the hinge of the oyster. Twist the knife to pop the shell open, and carefully slide the knife along the inside of the shell to detach the meat from the shell.
Arrange on Serving Plate
Place the shucked oysters on a bed of rock salt or crushed ice on a serving platter to keep them stable.
