The Oyster Kit

Shuck it

The two that matter are the knife and the glove. Everything else is comfort.

Oyster knife
short, stiff blade — not a paring knife
Cut-resistant glove
the one piece of gear worth not skipping
Shell brush
stiff bristles, for the mud line
Electric shucker
for a crowd, or a bad wrist

Serve it

Cold and level. Shells tip, liquor spills, and the liquor is half the oyster.

Ice platter
keeps a dozen at raw-bar temperature
Stainless rack
reusable, holds shells flat
Oyster forks
small tines, for the ones that cling
Seafood tower
tiered stand, when it is an occasion

Gift it

For the person whose whole personality is oysters. You know the one.

Shucking gift set
knife and glove, boxed
Engraved knife
personalized handle
Ceramic shell dish
for keys and rings, not oysters
