Oysters and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation and Serving

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Carefully scrub the outside of the oysters under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Discard any oysters that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    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. Remove the top shell and loosen the oyster from the bottom shell, keeping the oyster in its juice.

  3. 3

    Arrange on Ice

    Place a layer of crushed ice on a serving platter. Arrange the shucked oysters on top of the ice to keep them chilled.

  4. 4

    Serve with Accompaniments

    Serve the oysters with lemon wedges, mignonette sauce, and hot sauce on the side for guests to add as they prefer.
