Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each Malpeque oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge of the shell and twisting it to open. Be cautious of the sharp edges.

  2. 2

    Serving the Oysters

    Arrange the shucked oysters on a plate, preferably on a bed of ice to keep them chilled. Serve with lemon wedges and a small bowl of mignonette sauce for dipping.

  3. 3

    Garnishing

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the oysters for added color and flavor.
