“Whatever you do, please do not wash your oysters! If a little shell breaks off into an oyster, remove with a small instrument or tweezers instead of washing. Try to keep as much of the oyster’s natural liquor in the shell as possible. It’s delicious and is one of the things that makes a freshly shucked oyster so good.” – Josh Niland
