Serving oysters at home

Oysters make an easy centrepiece for a holiday party or a long dinner at home. For a tasting, we like to set out two or three varieties side by side, French and Canadian, so guests can compare salt and texture. Tell us how many people you are hosting and we can help with the count.

How to serve

Keep oysters refrigerated until you are ready to shuck. Work on a stable surface with a proper oyster knife, keep the liquor in each shell, and serve promptly over ice.
