Oysters and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Rinse the oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush if necessary.

    On a serving platter, create a bed of crushed ice to hold the oysters in place.

  4. 4

    Arrange the Oysters

  5. 5

    Serve with Accompaniments

    Garnish the oysters with lemon wedges, horseradish, and hot sauce. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
