1
Prepare the Oysters
Rinse the oysters under cold running water to remove any grit or debris. Use a brush to scrub the shells gently.
2
Shuck the Oysters
Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster and twist gently to pry it open. Slide the knife under the meat to detach it from the shell, but leave it in the shell.
3
Prepare the Serving Platter
Fill a large platter or bowl with ice to create a bed for the oysters. This will keep them chilled.
4
Arrange the Oysters
Place the shucked oysters on the ice, ensuring they are upright to retain their juices.
5
Garnish and Serve
Add lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, and hot sauce to the platter. Optionally, sprinkle finely chopped shallots on top of the oysters for added flavor.
