Oysters

Garnish

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Use a stiff brush to scrub the shells if needed.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of the oyster shell. Twist the knife to open the shell, then slide the knife along the inside of the top shell to detach the oyster from the shell. Remove the top shell and ensure the oyster is still sitting in the bottom shell with its liquor.

Serving

  1. 3

    Prepare the Serving Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange a layer of crushed ice to create a stable base for the oysters.

  2. 4

    Arrange the Oysters

    Place the shucked oysters on top of the crushed ice, making sure they are upright to keep the liquor.

  3. 5

    Add Garnish

    Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the oysters for garnish.

  4. 6

    Serve with Condiments

    Cut the lemon into wedges and arrange them on the platter along with the hot sauce and cocktail sauce. Serve immediately.
