Prepare the Oysters
Carefully scrub the oysters under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Rinse and set aside.

Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open. Carefully detach the oyster from the shell, keeping it in its half of the shell.

Arrange on Ice
Fill a serving platter with crushed ice and arrange the shucked oysters on top. This will keep them chilled and fresh.
