Method
Preparing the Oysters
- 1
Clean and Shuck the Oysters
Start by cleaning the oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge and twisting to open. Be cautious of the shell edges as they can be sharp.

Arrange the Oysters
Place the shucked oysters on a bed of crushed ice on a serving platter. This will keep them chilled and fresh.
