Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Scrub the oyster shells under cold running water using a stiff-bristled brush to remove dirt and debris.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife and a thick kitchen towel or glove, carefully shuck the oysters by inserting the knife into the hinge and twisting to pop the shell. Slide the knife under the top shell to remove it, then detach the oyster from the bottom shell, keeping the oyster liquor intact.

Serving

  1. 3

    Spread the crushed ice evenly on a serving platter or plate to create a chilled bed.

  2. 4

    Arrange the shucked oysters on the half shell over the ice.

  3. 5

    Garnish with lemon wedges, and serve with mignonette sauce, cocktail sauce, hot sauce, and parsley if desired.
