Not many people enjoy this step, as they don’t know how to shuck oysters safely. Here are the steps to follow so you can enjoy your oysters in no time.
Ideally, shuck oysters approximately 15 minutes before eating them, and never more than 2 hours. If they’re shucked too far in advance, they’ll lose on flavour and freshness.
Your IGA seafood specialist can fill you in on where our oysters come from, their texture, and their nuanced flavour profiles. Try mixing it up according to the season!
For a successful oyster party, offer various types of oysters, and make sure to set aside enough time to shuck and prep them before your guests arrive.
Offer your guests 2 to 3 varieties of oysters to choose from, making sure to include various sizes, origins, and flavours.
Eat varieties in order from least to most salty.
Raw oysters pair nicely with lemon, or with spicy Tabasco sauce, but you can also try them with chili sauce, salsa, vinegar, or wine, beer, and Champagne mignonettes . . . the possibilities are endless!
If you plan on serving them warm, make sure to keep a close eye on their cooking time, as they have a tendency to become rubbery when overcooked.
Discover our wide variety of oysters, which you can buy individually, by the dozen, in a small case (12 to 26 oysters) or even in a case of 100 oysters or more.
