Oysters
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Oysters
Rinse the Bluepoint oysters under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush if necessary to clean the shells thoroughly.

Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster to pry it open. Slide the knife along the top shell to detach the muscle, then remove the top shell, taking care not to spill any juice. Leave the oyster in the bottom shell.

Prepare the Serving Platter
On a large platter, create a bed of crushed ice to hold the oysters in place. This will keep them chilled and fresh.
