Oysters
Method
Preparation
Shucking the Oysters
Carefully shuck the fresh oysters using an oyster knife. Hold the oyster with a towel in one hand, and insert the knife at the hinge to pry it open. Slide the knife along the top shell to detach the oyster from the shell, then remove the top shell.
Serving
Place the shucked oysters on a bed of crushed ice on a serving platter. Ensure they are stable and not tipping over.
