Shucked oysters on the half shell may be kept, covered with a wet towel, in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour.
Preparation steps
1.
Rinse oysters well. Using a oyster knife, shuck the oysters in the following manner. Cover your hand with a cloth or thick glove, and grip the shelled oyster in your palm. Insert the knife point next to the hinge and twist the knife to pry the shell open. Using the knife, cut the muscle away from the top half and discard the top shell. Run the knife underneath the oyster to detach it, but leave the oyster in its shell. Arrange the oysters in a bed of crushed ice or wet rock salt. Arrange lemon wedges around oysters. Serve immediately.
