Oysters and Accompaniments
Method
Preparation and Serving
Shuck the Oysters
Carefully shuck the oysters using an oyster knife, ensuring to keep the oyster liquor (the juice) intact in the shell.
Plate the Oysters
Arrange the freshly shucked oysters on a serving platter, ensuring they are still in their half shells.
Prepare the Accompaniments
Place the cocktail sauce in a small bowl in the center of the platter. Add a few drops of Tabasco sauce to the cocktail sauce for those who enjoy a spicy kick.
Serve with Lime
Garnish the platter with lime wedges, allowing guests to squeeze fresh lime juice over the oysters if desired.
