Preparation

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.

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.
