Oysters

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Oysters

Start by ensuring that your oysters are fresh and alive. Rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.

2

Open the Oysters

Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of each oyster. Twist the knife to pry open the shell. Be cautious of any shell fragments.

3

Arrange on Ice

Place the opened oysters on a platter filled with ice to keep them chilled.

4

Serve with Condiments

Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with hot sauce and cocktail sauce on the side for dipping.
