Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Carefully scrub the Blue Point oysters under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.

  2. 2

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open. Slide the knife along the shell to cut the muscle and detach the oyster from the top shell.

    Presentation

    Arrange the shucked oysters on a platter filled with crushed ice to keep them chilled.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the oysters and top with a dollop of cocktail sauce. Add a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.

  5. 5
