Oysters and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oysters

    Carefully shuck the fresh oysters, making sure to keep the oyster liquor (the liquid inside) intact. Place the oysters on a serving platter with ice to keep them chilled.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Toast Points

    Cut slices of bread into quarters and toast them until golden brown. Alternatively, you can lightly grill them for a smoky flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Lemon and Cocktail Sauce

    Cut the lemons into wedges and place them on the platter. Serve the cocktail sauce in a small bowl alongside the oysters.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the oysters on the platter with the toast points, lemon wedges, and cocktail sauce. Enjoy immediately!
