Oysters Preparation

Method

Oysters Preparation

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Prepare Serving Plate

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

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Garnish with Lemon and Parsley

    Cut the lemon into wedges. Place a lemon wedge on each opened oyster and sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and presentation.

  5. 5

    Serve with Hot Sauce and Sea Salt

    Drizzle a few drops of hot sauce on each oyster and sprinkle with sea salt to taste. Serve immediately while cold.
