Notes
Can only buy closed oysters? Here’s how to shuck them: With a cloth in hand to help with grip, firmly hold the oyster with the narrow end pointing towards you. Use a thin knife to cut into the hinge side of the oyster, twisting the blade to open up the shell. Place the top shell aside. Holding the bottom shell, gently use the knife to cut underneath the oyster, this will break the muscle attaching it to the shell. It is now ready to enjoy!
