Oysters
Method
Preparation
Cleaning the Oysters
Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a scrub brush if necessary to clean the shells thoroughly.
Shucking the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of the oyster shell. Twist the knife to pop the shell open and slide the knife along the top shell to detach the oyster from it. Remove the top shell and discard it.
Serving the Oysters
Place the shucked oysters on a plate filled with crushed ice to keep them chilled. Arrange lemon wedges around the oysters and offer Tabasco sauce and mignonette sauce on the side for dipping.
