Good to know
- How much to buy
- A case of 100 suits about 15 to 25 people, depending on what else you serve.
- Keeping it
- Keep the case cold, cup side down, under a damp cloth, never in water or a sealed bag. Eat them within 2 days.
- How to cook it
- To shuck: hold the oyster flat side up in a folded towel. Push an oyster knife into the hinge at the narrow end and twist until it pops. Slide the knife along the top shell to cut it free, then under the oyster to loosen it. Throw away any oyster that was open and didn’t close when tapped. For a crowd: shuck onto a tray of crushed ice and set out lemon, mignonette and hot sauce. Or barbecue them whole over high heat until they pop open, 5 to 8 minutes. Health Canada advises people who are pregnant, adults 60 and over, children 5 and under, and anyone with a weakened immune system not to eat raw oysters or raw fish. Barbecued until they open, they’re cooked.
