Method

Preparing the Oysters

  1. 1

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using a shucking knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster, twisting to open. Be cautious of the sharp shell edges.

  2. 2

    Cleaning the Oysters

    Rinse each opened oyster under cold running water to remove any shell fragments and sand.

  3. 3

    Presenting the Oysters

    Place the cleaned oysters on a serving platter filled with crushed ice to keep them chilled.

Serving the Oysters

  1. 4

    Adding Garnishes

    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each oyster and add a drop of hot sauce. If desired, grate fresh horseradish over the top for an extra kick.

  2. 5

    Final Touch

    Sprinkle chopped parsley and black pepper over the oysters for an additional flavor boost.
