Oysters Preparation

Method

Oysters Serving Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Begin by thoroughly cleaning the oysters under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck the oysters by inserting the knife into the hinge and twisting to open. Place the opened oysters on a platter with the deeper shell side down to hold the juices.

  2. 2

    Add Toppings

    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each oyster, then add a few drops of hot sauce according to your taste. Top with freshly grated horseradish and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for garnish. If desired, add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Serve the oysters immediately on ice or with a chilled platter alongside lemon wedges and additional hot sauce for guests to customize their flavor.
