Fresh Oysters
As good as an Oyster Bar, eating fresh oysters at home is easy and delicious. Get your oyster shucker and get those oysters on the half shell and onto some ice, eat right away with some delicious cocktail sauce, horseradish, hot sauce and lemon juice... on a cracker is best.

Ingredients
- Bushel of Fresh Raw Oysters
- Cocktail Sauce
- Horseradish Sauce
- Hot Sauce
- Crackers
- Lemon Wedges
Instructions
- Using an Oyster shucking knife pry open each oyster and immediately put that half shell (with the oyster in it onto a tray filled with ice.
- Repeat above until there are 12 oysters on half shells on the tray. This is a serving for one person.
- On that same tray scatter some lemon wedges and place a small dip bowl of horseradish and cocktail sauce. The hot sauce should be made available on the table, along with the crackers.
- Repeat above steps until you have covered the amount of people you will be shucking for.
Notes
A bushel of oysters (usually has 100 oysters). If it is only you, or two of you it may be worth buying the oysters that are already shucked. They won't be as pretty in a shell, but it'll be a little cheaper and less work.
