Method
Preparation
- 1
Shucking the Oysters
Carefully shuck the fresh oysters using an oyster knife. Hold the oyster with a towel to protect your hand, and insert the knife into the hinge of the oyster. Twist the knife to open the shell and slide the knife under the meat to detach it from the shell.

Serving the Oysters
Place the shucked oysters on a platter filled with crushed ice to keep them chilled. This also helps to stabilize the oysters.
