The first step is to probe the gap between two shells with the tip of a knife, preferably starting from the middle part. The method is to use the tip of the knife to slowly shake between the two shells, find the gap and then slowly insert it;

The second step is to know that after the knife is inserted, the shell can't be tilted. This is because oysters have two tightly grasped shell muscles. At this time, it is necessary to cut off one side of the shell muscle with a knife first, and then slide the inserted knife up and down along one side of the shell twice to cut off the shell muscle smoothly.

The third step, after cutting the shell muscle, you can easily open the side of the shell, and the meat of the oyster will appear immediately.

Note: Never pour out the juice after the oyster is opened. It is very fresh. If eaten raw, you can directly pour meat and water into your mouth. It tastes soft and sweet. If you don't want to eat it raw, steam it in a steamer for two or three minutes. Dip a little soy sauce into it after cooking. You can also use a professional oyster knife to open oysters. If it is the first time to operate, it is best to wear gloves to prevent your hands from being cut when you make mistakes.

Oyster, also known as "oyster", is a mollusk that grows in the sea. Although it also has two shells that can be opened and closed, it is different from all other shellfish. Its meat part is the only part that can be eaten completely. Excluding any internal organs, it is rich in zinc, calcium and other nutrients than other shellfish. In terms of nutritional value, oysters have always been called "milk in the sea"
