Oysters and Accompaniments
Method
Preparation and Serving
- 1
Prepare the Ice Bed
In a shallow dish or platter, layer the bottom with crushed ice to create a bed for the oysters. This will keep them chilled and fresh while serving.
- 2
Clean the Oysters
Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush if necessary to ensure they are clean.
- 3
Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open. Slide the knife along the shell to detach the meat from the top shell, then remove the top shell completely.

Place Oysters on Ice
