Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Serving Plate

    Spread a layer of rock salt on a serving plate. This will help stabilize the oysters and keep them upright.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife. Hold the oyster in a towel, with the flat side facing up. Insert the knife into the hinge and twist to open. Remove the top shell and loosen the oyster from the bottom shell.

  3. 3

    Arrange on Plate

    Place the shucked oysters on the bed of rock salt on the serving plate. Make sure they are level to prevent the juices from spilling out.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the oysters immediately with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, and hot sauce on the side.
