everyone I'm micro Seska I'm the manager to de Bracy food department here I'm going to show you in a few simple steps how to shuck an oyster on the half shell we get all our oysters local grape from Long Island Sound they're one of the most sought-after in the United States a real tasty couple leave these steps you're going to lay the oyster down flat we're going to get a dish towel or something to protect your hand flat head screwdriver into the hinge of the oyster here you're gonna put the flat head screwdriver with some pressure twisting and pressing and pry the oyster right open there you want to scrape the meat off the top of the show then you want to cut it from the bottom shell there's one muscle holding it into the show there some people love to have their oysters steamed some have them grilled I prefer to have them raw in the half shell most people will need them draw a little bit of fresh lemon some cocktail sauce a little bit of horseradish I like mine with a little bit of fresh lime on there foolish enjoy
