Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the oysters

    Start by carefully shucking the oysters. Use an oyster knife to pry open the shells, being cautious of the sharp edges. Discard the top shell and set the oysters in their bottom shells aside.

  2. 2

    Arrange on ice

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

  3. 3

    Serve with condiments

    Garnish the oysters with lemon wedges on the side. Serve with hot sauce and mignonette sauce for dipping.
