Oysters Preparation

Method

Oysters Serving Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Oysters

    Carefully scrub the oysters under cold running water to remove any grit or dirt. Discard any oysters that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Shucking the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster and twist to pry open. Slide the knife along the inside of the shell to detach the meat from the shell. Keep the oyster in the bottom shell.

  3. 3

    Serving the Oysters

    Place the shucked oysters on a bed of crushed ice to keep them chilled. Serve with lemon wedges, hot sauce, and mignonette sauce on the side for dipping.
