Oysters
Method
Preparation
Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck each Blue Point oyster by inserting the knife into the hinge of the shell and twisting until the shell opens. Remove the top shell and carefully detach the oyster from the bottom shell.
Prepare the Serving Platter
On a large platter, create a bed of crushed ice to hold the oysters. Arrange the shucked oysters on top of the ice.
Garnish and Serve
Add lemon wedges around the oysters, and place a small bowl of cocktail sauce and hot sauce on the platter for dipping. Serve immediately.
