STORING YOUR OYSTERS
Always shuck your oysters right before serving, so they are as fresh as possible. If you plan to store your oysters before using them, place them in the refrigerator in an uncovered container, and cover with a clean wet towel. Serve your oysters within 3 days of delivery.
SHUCKING & SERVING INSTRUCTIONS
Shucking an oyster can be a delicate process, but with the right technique, it’s easy to enjoy fresh, delicious oysters at home. Here's our step-by-step process.
Tools Needed:
- Oyster Knife - A short, sturdy knife with a pointed tip.
- Clean Kitchen Towel or Oyster Glove
- Optional: Lemon Wedges, Cocktail Sauce, Mignonette Sauce, or Hot Sauce for serving. We recommend our Crab Captain's Vinaigrette!
Shucking:
Holding the oyster firmly with the towel or glove, locate the hinge. The hinge is the point where the two shells of the oyster meet. Insert the tip of the oyster knife into the hinge, positioning it at a 45-degree angle. Gently wiggle the knife into the hinge while applying downward pressure. Once you have leverage, twist the knife to pop the oyster open. Slide the knife along the top shell to cut through the muscle that connects the two shells. Keep the blade as close to the top shell as possible to avoid damaging the oyster. Slide the knife under the oyster meat to detach it from the bottom shell.
Serving:
Serve the shucked oysters immediately with your choice of accompaniments such as lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, mignonette sauce, or hot sauce.
