Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the oysters

    Rinse the oysters thoroughly under cold running water using a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris from the shells.

  2. 2

    Shuck the oysters

    Using an oyster knife and a thick kitchen towel or glove, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster and twist to pop it open. Run the knife along the top shell to release the oyster, then detach it from the bottom shell while retaining the liquor (juice).

Serving

  1. 3

    Arrange the crushed ice on a serving platter or tray to create a bed for the oysters.

  2. 4

    Nestle the shucked oysters on the half shell into the ice to keep them cold and stable.

  3. 5

    Serve immediately with lemon wedges, hot sauce, black pepper, and mignonette sauce on the side.
