Shucking the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each Cotuit oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge of the shell, twisting to pop it open. Remove the top shell and slide the oyster off the bottom shell, being careful to keep the oyster and its liquid intact.

Serving
Arrange the shucked oysters on a serving platter with ice to keep them chilled. Serve with lemon wedges, hot sauce, cocktail sauce, and a sprinkle of sea salt.
