Method
Preparation
Select and Clean Oysters
Choose 6 fresh raw oysters from a reputable source. Rinse them under cold running water to remove any sand or debris.
Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster. Twist and pry the shell open, being cautious not to spill the juices inside. Remove the top shell and check for any shell fragments.
Serving
Arrange on a Plate
Place the shucked oysters on a plate, ensuring the oysters remain in their bottom shells to hold the juices.
Add Accompaniments
Serve the oysters with lemon wedges on the side, along with cocktail sauce, hot sauce, and freshly grated horseradish for dipping.
