Shucking Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of the oyster shell, applying pressure to pop it open. Slide the knife along the top shell to cut the muscle and remove it, then detach the oyster from the bottom shell. Keep the oyster in its liquor for maximum flavor.
