How to wash oysters When purchasing raw oysters, they are usually submerged in seawater rather than plain water. Since they have not been cleaned yet, debris, impurities, and shells from the seawater are still present, so cleaning is essential. For 1 cup of raw oysters, prepare 0.5 to 0.7 spoons of coarse salt and 1 to 2 spoons of grated radish. Place the oysters in a bowl, add a little water and coarse salt, and wash by mixing them. At this time, you must never rub or knead them with your hands. If they come into contact with warm hands, freshness may decrease and the soft oysters may be crushed. After washing the oysters, place them in a sieve to drain the moisture. Additionally, washing them with juice from grated radish and letting them sit for 2 to 3 minutes cleans them more thoroughly than plain water and can also eliminate the oysters’ fishy smell.
