Over-cooked salmon becomes dry and unpalatable. Because salmon continues cooking after being removed from the heat, cook only until it feels firm when pressed lightly with the back of a fork. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

  1. Grasp the oyster or clam firmly with one hand.
  2. Place it on a towel so the oyster or clam doesn't slip.
  3. Dig your oyster knife into the divot nearest the hinge. Be careful not to apply to much force as this may cause you to slip and stab your hand.
  4. Twist the oyster knife to open the shell.
  5. Once the shell is slightly opened, continue to follow the opening around and twisting the knife.
  6. Once the shell is completely open, scrape the top inside of the shell to seperate the muscle.
  7. Seperate the muscle from the bottom as well.
  8. Be sure not to lose the juice or brine. This gives tremendous flavor when eating.
  9. You can serve with lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, horseradish, hot sauce and more.
  10. Enjoy!
