Garnishes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a brush if necessary to scrub the shells.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster. Twist the knife to pry the shell open, then slide the knife along the inside of the shell to detach the oyster from the shell. Discard the top shell and keep the oyster and the bottom shell intact.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Serving Dish

    On a large serving platter, arrange a layer of crushed ice. This will keep the oysters chilled and fresh while serving.

  4. 4

    Place Oysters on Ice

    Carefully place the shucked oysters on top of the crushed ice in a single layer.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish the Oysters

    Add lemon wedges around the oysters on the platter. Place a small bowl of cocktail sauce in the center and a bottle of hot sauce on the side for guests to enjoy.

  2. 6

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the oysters on ice immediately to ensure they are fresh and chilled. Enjoy with the garnishes available.
