Prepare Oysters

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge at the back of the shell, twisting gently to open. Remove the top shell and set aside.

    Arrange Oysters

    Place the freshly shucked oysters on a platter, making sure they remain in their bottom shells. If necessary, use crushed ice to hold them in place.
