Oysters
Method
Preparation
Select Fresh Oysters
Choose 12 fresh oysters from a reputable seafood market or fishmonger. Ensure they are kept on ice until ready to serve.
Prepare the Serving Plate
Arrange the oysters on a bed of crushed ice on a serving platter to keep them chilled.
Prepare the Lemon Wedges
Cut a fresh lemon into wedges and place them around the oysters on the serving platter for garnish and flavor.
Prepare the Condiments
In a small bowl, place the cocktail sauce and set it on the side of the platter. Provide hot sauce for those who like a little extra heat.
Add Sea Salt
Sprinkle some sea salt over the oysters to enhance their natural brininess.
