Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the oysters well under cold water, wrap the sink with a clean towel and press down on the table so that the joint of the shutters is facing you.
Step 2
Hold the shell firmly with one hand, and with the other, carefully insert the tip of a knife (special for oysters) into the small hole in the joint of the flaps. Rotate the knife a little, while the flaps should part a little.
Step 3
Continue to hold the oyster with one hand, draw a knife along the upper flap, while the muscle will be cut, it is she who keeps the shell closed.
Step 4
Throw away the upper flap (flat), and carefully remove the lower (more round) from the towel so that juice does not spill. Use the tip of a knife to remove any debris from the sink.
Step 5
Option 2. Hold the bottom of the sink firmly between your fingers. Cut the muscle (with this muscle it is attached to the shell) under the oyster with a movement directed in your direction. Start your meal. You can eat an oyster raw, pre-salt and pepper.
