Method

Oyster Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any debris or sand. Scrub the shells gently with a brush to ensure they are clean.

  2. 2

    Open the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully insert the knife into the hinge of each oyster and twist to open. Be cautious of sharp edges. Discard the top shell and keep the oyster in the bottom shell.

  3. 3

    Add Lemon and Salt

    Squeeze fresh lemon juice over each opened oyster and sprinkle a little sea salt on top for added flavor.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Dipping Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, hot sauce, and minced garlic (finely chop the garlic). Mix well until all ingredients are blended.

  2. 5

    Add Parsley

    Chop fresh parsley and stir it into the mayonnaise mixture. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference for spiciness.

Garnish

  1. 6

    Prepare Garnish

    Finely chop chives and set aside. In a small bowl, combine crushed black pepper with chopped chives.

  2. 7

    Serve the Oysters

    Place the prepared oysters on a serving platter, drizzle with dipping sauce, and sprinkle the chive and black pepper garnish over the top.
