How to Shuck an Oyster

To open an oyster, hold the oyster in one, gloved hand, flat side up. Using a Crown Oyster shucking knife (free with your first order), insert the knife into the bottom curve of the shell and wiggle the knife a little till it pops.

Insert the knife in the shell making sure it slides along the flat shell, otherwise you are creating scrambled oysters. Remove the lid (the flat shell).

Scrape with the knife carefully along the bottom half of the shell to detach the oyster from the shell.

Now you can turn the oyster over for a better presentation. Enjoy!
