Method
Preparation
Clean the Oysters
Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush if necessary.
Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, gently insert the knife into the hinge of the oyster. Twist the knife to pop open the shell and slide the knife along the inside of the top shell to detach the oyster. Carefully remove the top shell and leave the oyster in its bottom shell.
Serve
Arrange the shucked oysters on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, and hot sauce on the side for dipping.
