1. You need a special small knife. It does not need to be sharp, but it should be somewhat thick. If it is too thin, it will break easily. Opening an oyster requires some force. Find a small gap and insert the knife.

2. Twist the blade clockwise with force, so that the blade edge and the back of the knife press against the upper and lower shells of the oyster at the same time. It opens easily. (If you do not have a suitable small knife, a screwdriver also works, but it is less convenient and not as handy as a small knife.)

How do you clean the innards of fresh oysters?

When cleaning oysters, it is best to wear latex gloves, put the oysters in water, and scrub the sand and mud attached to the oyster shells with a brush. If you bought fresh oyster meat, it often contains broken oyster shells or other impurities. Just drip an appropriate amount of vegetable oil (peanut oil) into it, and it will be easier to clean thoroughly.

2. Soaking. First prepare a basin of hot water, dissolve a little baking soda in the hot water, then put the dried oysters in the hot water to soak. Once softened, they are not only easier to wash clean, but the off-flavor of the dried oysters can also be removed. After washing, rinse them clean with clear water. Dried oysters processed this way will be delicious no matter how you cook them.
