Oysters

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Place the fresh oysters in a bowl of cold water. Gently scrub the shells with a brush to remove any sand or debris. Rinse thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open. Slide the knife along the top shell to detach the muscle, then remove the top shell.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Presentation

    Arrange the shucked oysters on a serving platter with ice to keep them chilled. Squeeze the lemon juice over the oysters.

  4. 4

    Add Condiments

    Serve the oysters with cocktail sauce and Tabasco sauce on the side. Sprinkle sea salt over the oysters for extra flavor.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the oysters for a vibrant finish.
