Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using a sturdy oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open. Slide the knife along the top shell to cut the muscle, then remove the top shell.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Serving Plate

    Arrange the shucked oysters on a serving plate filled with crushed ice to keep them chilled and fresh.

  3. 3

    Garnish

    Serve the oysters with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, and hot sauce on the side. Sprinkle with a little sea salt for added flavor.
