• First, you’ll need to get a towel along with your shucking knife. Always use a towel to protect your hand and always use a shucking knife opposed to a regular knife for safety reasons.
  • Place the oyster in one hand on a folded towel and look for the natural hinge on your oyster and insert the shucking knife. From here you dig the shucking knife and turn form left to right until it starts to loosen.
  • Once the oyster is open, from here run the edge of the shucking knife under your oyster to release it from the shell.
