1
Clean the Oysters
Place the fresh oysters in a bowl of cold water. Scrub the shells gently with a brush to remove any dirt or sand. Rinse thoroughly under running water.
2
Shuck the Oysters
Using a shucking knife, carefully insert the blade into the hinge of the oyster shell. Twist to pry the shell open, then slide the knife along the inside of the top shell to cut the muscle. Discard the top shell and keep the oyster in the bottom shell.
3
Prepare Lemon Wedges
Cut the lemon into wedges for serving alongside the oysters.

4
Plate the Oysters
Arrange the shucked oysters on a serving platter, ensuring they are upright to keep the oyster liquor intact.
5
Add Mignonette Sauce
Spoon a small amount of mignonette sauce over each oyster for added flavor.
6
Garnish and Serve
Serve the oysters with lemon wedges on the side and provide salt and hot sauce for guests to season to their liking.
