Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using a clean, sturdy oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of the oyster. Twist the knife to pop the shell open, then slide the knife along the inside of the top shell to detach the meat. Remove the top shell and discard it.

  2. 2

    Serving

    Place the freshly shucked oysters on a serving plate filled with crushed ice to keep them chilled. Serve with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, and hot sauce on the side.
