Fresh Oysters on the Half Shell - 4 servings
Preparation: 10 min.
-
8 fresh oysters
-
1 lemon, cut into thin wedges
Rinse mud from outside of oysters, discarding any seaweed. Do not scrub. Hold a short pointed oyster knife in one hand. Cover the other hand with a thick glove or cloth and grip the shell in your palm. Insert the point of the blade next to the hinge and twist to pry the shell open. Cut the muscle of the oyster from the top half and discard the top shell. Loosen the muscle from the lower shell with the knife. Arrange on a bed of ice and serve with lemon.
