OYSTERS ON THE HALF SHELL
Steps:
- Place the tip of your oyster knife into the tip of the hinge on the oyster shell, and twist to open. It may take you a few tries to get the technique, but once you do, it is easy.
- Make sure to employ a towel over your hand. Once open, scrape the bottom and top muscles separately to loosen the flesh from the shell. Leave the mussel meat in the bottom shell.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice and hot sauce if you wish, and slurp down, chewing if you want the full experience.
RAW OYSTERS ON THE HALF SHELL
Steps:
- Scrub the oysters under cold water with a stiff brush to remove the dirt, especially in the hinge area where mud has a tendency to get trapped. Next, find a durable thick cloth and fold it over several times to create a square; this will steady the oysters as you shuck them and also protect your hand. Using the towel as a mitt, place the oyster, cup-side down in the palm of your towel-covered hand with the hinge facing you; have a small bowl handy to catch the delicious juice. Insert the tip of an oyster knife or dull butter knife as far into the hinge as it will go; don't jab it in there or you could break the shell. With gentle force, twist the knife back and forth to pry the shell open. Using the knife, cut the muscle away from the top shell, bend the shell back, and discard it. Run the knife underneath the oyster to detach it completely, but leave it in its shell. Tip out the briny liquor into the bowl and pour it back over the shucked oysters. Nestle the oysters in a bed of crushed ice or rock salt to keep them steady. Spoon the Cucumber Mignonette on top and serve as part of a raw shellfish bar.
- In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, shallots, ginger, cucumber, black pepper, and cilantro; mixing with a fork. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or up to the day before you plan to serve, to allow the flavors to come together. Serve with raw oysters and clams.

STOVE TOP SMOKER OYSTERS ON THE HALF SHELL
From the cookbook "Smokin". Some folks won't touch a raw oyster with a ten-foot pole, others won't eat them any other way. A third approach: smoke them lightly to keep their briny goodness and plump texture intact. If you like the heavy-smoked flavor and drier texture of canned smoked oysters, increase the wood to 2 1/2 tablespoons and the smoking time to 25 minutes. Use alder, corn cob or cherry wood chips.

Steps:
- Put the wood chips in the bottom of the smoker.
- Replace the bottom tray, and set in the rack.
- Lay the oysters in the half shell on the smoking rack.
- Start the oysters over medium heat and lower the heat slightly once the smoker lid is closed.
- Smoke until the oysters are very lightly colored and firm, but still plump and moist, 9 minutes over the heat after closing the smoker lid and about 6 minutes off the heat with the smoker lid closed.
- Check the oysters for doneness after they have been off the heat 5 minutes.
- Serve right from the smoker or drizzle them with melted butter and pass lemon wedges, a pepper mill, and a bottle of hot red pepper sauce.
- Or prepare your favorite stuffed oyster recipe, fold into a spinach omelet, or try them in Oysters Vanderbilt (see related separate recipe).

- Shucking an oyster ideally requires an oyster knife with a short, sharp, thick blade. Wear a glove to protect your hand against the knife and sharp edges of the shell.
- The oyster is attached to the centre of its upper and lower shells by a strong muscle. With the knife, sever the muscle attachment to the upper shell. Liftoff and discard the upper shell.
