Oysters
Method
Preparation
Shucking the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster. Twist the knife to pop the shell open, then slide the knife along the inside of the top shell to cut the muscle connecting the oyster to the shell. Remove the top shell and discard.
Serving the Oysters
Place the opened oysters on a platter filled with crushed ice to keep them chilled. Make sure they are sitting flat to prevent the juice from spilling.
