Oysters on the half shell
If you have never done oysters on the half shell yourself, don’t be intimidated. You will need a few essentials. One being an oyster knife, or shucker. You may think that you can use a knife, but you will end up in the emergency room with a nice hand laceration. You’ll also need a heavy dishtowel. If you have never shucked an oyster, click here for a quick 101 . Buy your oysters from a reputable fish market. Only eat them in the month's that contain the letter "r". Ask your fishmonger what they recommend. Some tasty and popular varieties to offer are Stellar Bay, Dabob, Kumamoto and Quilcene. Keep the oysters in the refrigerator until you are ready to shuck them.
