Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean and Arrange Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Place a layer of rock salt on a serving platter to create a stable base for the oysters.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge and twisting to open. Be cautious to avoid injury and to keep the oyster liquor inside the shell.

  3. 3

    Plate the Oysters

    Arrange the shucked oysters on the bed of rock salt on the serving platter.

Serving

  1. 4

    Prepare Accompaniments

    Cut the lemon into wedges and set aside. Ensure that the hot sauce and mignonette sauce are ready for serving.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve the oysters immediately on the platter with lemon wedges, hot sauce, and mignonette sauce on the side for dipping.
