Oysters on the half shell are a simple and traditional method to eat the seafood. It all begins with buying fresh, high-quality oysters from a trusted fishmonger or grocery shop if you plan on serving raw oysters. Now, using a soft brush, clean the oysters well by scrubbing the outside to remove any dirt or debris. Then, pry the oyster open using an oyster knife or a strong butter knife, and slide the knife down the top edge of the shell to remove the oyster. Carefully remove the oyster from the bottom shell and discard the top shell.
