Oysters
Method
Preparation
- 1
Shucking the Oysters
Using a clean oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open the shell. Slide the knife along the top shell to cut the muscle connecting the oyster to the shell. Discard the top shell and keep the oyster and bottom shell intact.

Preparing the Serving Dish
On a large serving platter, arrange a layer of crushed ice to keep the oysters cold. This will help preserve their freshness and flavor.

Placing the Oysters
Place the opened oysters on top of the layer of crushed ice, ensuring they are stable and not tipping over.

Adding Garnishes
