Serving oysters at home

For a tasting, we like to serve two or three varieties side by side. Taste the first oyster from each on its own, then add lemon or mignonette. A proper oyster knife and a stable work surface make opening easier. We're happy to help you compare what's available.

How to serve

Keep oysters refrigerated until shucking. Preserve the liquor in each shell and serve promptly over ice. If this is your first time opening oysters, use a purpose-built knife and review a safe shucking technique before you begin.
