Top tips for eating oysters

Choose Fresh Oysters

• Freshness: Make sure the oysters are fresh. They should be tightly closed or close when tapped. If they remain open, they might be dead and unsafe to eat.
• Smell: Fresh oysters should smell like the sea—briny, but not fishy.

2. Shucking Oysters

• Use the Right Tool: Use an oyster knife, which is short and strong, to shuck (open) the oyster.
• Technique: Hold the oyster with a towel for a good grip and protection. Insert the knife at the hinge, twist until it pops open, then slide the knife along the top shell to detach the muscle.
• Presentation: Keep the oyster in its shell with the liquid inside, as it adds to the flavour.

3. Enhance the Flavor

• Lemon: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice can enhance the natural flavour of the oyster.
• Mignonette Sauce: This traditional sauce made from vinegar, shallots, and pepper adds a nice tangy contrast.
• Hot Sauce: For those who enjoy a bit of spice, a drop or two of hot sauce can be delicious.
• Avoid Overpowering: While condiments can enhance the flavour, avoid using too much as it can mask the delicate taste of the oyster.

4. Eating the Oyster

• Slurp It: Hold the oyster shell to your lips, tilt it slightly, and slurp the oyster along with its liquor. You can chew a little to release more flavour or simply swallow it whole.
• Texture: Expect a soft, slightly firm texture

5. Pairing with Drinks

• Champagne or Sparkling Wine: The bubbles and acidity pair well with the briny flavour of oysters.
• Dry White Wine: Wines like Chablis, Muscadet, or Sauvignon Blanc complement oysters.
• Stout or Porter Beer: These beers can also pair nicely, balancing the richness of the oyster.

6. Etiquette

• Shell Placement: After eating, place the empty shell face down on the plate to indicate it’s been consumed.
• Order: If you have a variety of oysters, start with the mildest ones and work your way to the more robust flavors.
