How to Pick Oysters: 9 Things to Consider When Choosing Oysters

Oysters, one of the great delicacies of the world. Rich, irony, umami packed shells of goodness that are appreciated in almost every culture.

We’ve actually spent some time on our very own oyster safari in Denmark where we learned a lot about the different types of oysters and some of the problems the species are facing in different countries.

Now, the wonderful team at ChefSteps have produced a great video series on oysters with Marco Pinchot from Taylor Shellfish.

The first video lays down some simple tips on how to pick oysters and the second shows you exactly how to shuck them like a pro.

Enjoy and don't miss more great ChefSteps content.
