Oysters
Method
Preparation
Shucking the Oysters
Carefully shuck the fresh oysters using an oyster knife. Hold the oyster in a towel or glove to protect your hand, and insert the knife into the hinge of the oyster. Twist the knife to pry the shell open and slide the knife along the interior to detach the oyster from the shell. Discard the top shell.
Serving
Arrange the freshly shucked oysters on a serving platter. Cut the lemon into wedges and place them alongside the oysters. Pour the cocktail sauce into a small bowl and place it on the platter for dipping.
