Clean and shuck oysters for freshness and coolness
Ok, break out the big guns. To get started you’ll need the right tools (a few clean towels, rubber gloves if you like, and an oyster knife) and a little muscle. Shucked oysters are available, but we recommend shucking yourself at the last minute, or even while your guests are there, so your oysters won’t dry out and will be as delicious as earthly possible.
