• The only thing you have to do is to open the oysters ! Put in your left hand an old dish cloth to protect it and hold the oyster in this hand the hinge on the right. With the right hand and an appropriate knife (a strong one) open the oyster trying to introduce the knife between the two shells at the level of the hinge. The first oyster is the worst ! Don't worry you get used !

• To be sure the oyster is still alive touch them at the edge : if the oyster is mouving it's all right if not it's dead, don't eat it. You can do the same thing with a drop of lemon.

Nothing to do just eat the oysters possibly with some drops of lemon juice.
