Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters thoroughly under cold running water to remove any sand and debris.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Serving Plate

    Spread a layer of rock salt on a serving plate. This will help stabilize the oysters and keep them upright.

  3. 3

    Open the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open. Be cautious of the sharp edges and use a kitchen towel to protect your hand.

  4. 4

    Arrange the Oysters

    Place the opened oysters on the prepared serving plate, nestled into the rock salt.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the oysters with lemon wedges and serve with Tabasco sauce and Mignonette sauce on the side for dipping.

  2. 6

    Enjoy

    Encourage guests to enjoy the oysters by squeezing lemon juice over them, adding a few drops of Tabasco or Mignonette sauce to their taste.
