Select and Clean Oysters
Choose 12 fresh oysters from a reputable source. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any sand and debris. Use a brush to scrub the shells if necessary.

Prepare Serving Plate
Fill a large serving plate with 2 cups of crushed ice. This will keep the oysters cold and fresh while serving.

Open Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster and twist gently to open. Slide the knife along the inner shell to detach the meat from the shell. Place the opened oysters on the crushed ice.
