  • 2. Work over a bowl so that you can catch the oyster's juices, or be careful keeping the oyster flat in your hand
  • 3. Insert a oyster knife between the oysters shell opening about 1/3 back from the wide end of the oyster.
  • 4. Twist the knife carefully in the crack of the shell and pry the oyster shell open.
  • 5. Go inside the oysters shell and cut around the bottem of the shell to cut the muscle free.
  • 6. Remove the top shell and scrape the meat from the top shell into the bottom shell.
  • 7. If successful you should be ready to serve it on the half shell!
Steaming Oysters in the Shell:
  • First start with a steaming or boiling pot with rack to keep Oysters above the boiling water.
  • Add one part water, one part vinegar, or beer so your mixture is just below the boiling rack.
  • Bring the liquid to a full boil.
  • Then layer your Oysters inside the pot adding seasoning or spices if desired for more flavor.
  • Cover and steam live oysters in the shell for 4 to 9 minutes after the shell opens. Enjoy!
Baked Oysters in the Shell:
  • Place your oysters cup side down on a cookie sheet to catch the liquid.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size.
  • Some shells will not be opened, so some prying will be necessary. Be careful if hot!
  • Oysters cooked cup side down will hold the liquid, making a jucier meat.
