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

Shuck the oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of the oyster shell and twist to open. Slide the knife along the top shell to detach the muscle and remove the top shell, keeping the oyster and its liquor intact in the bottom shell.
