Oyster Preparation
Method
Oyster Serving
- 1
Prepare the oysters
Begin by rinsing the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush if necessary to scrub the shells thoroughly.
- 2
Chill the oysters
On a large platter, layer the bottom with ice to create a bed for the oysters. This will keep them cold and fresh for serving.

Shuck the oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge of the shell and twisting to open. Be cautious of the sharp edges. Place the opened oysters on the ice.
