Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Select Fresh Oysters

    Choose fresh, live oysters that are tightly closed. Discard any that are open or damaged.

  2. 2

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the oysters under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a brush if necessary.

  3. 3

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of the oyster and twist to open. Slide the knife along the top shell to detach the meat and remove the top shell.

  4. 4

    Arrange on a Platter

    Place the opened oysters on a bed of crushed ice on a serving platter to keep them chilled.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped parsley over the oysters for garnish and serve with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, and Tabasco sauce on the side.
