Any Oyster Experts? Advice needed

[Northstander]

I have just got back from the market and have opened some fresh oysters, how do I "cleanly" separate the muscle from the Oyster and what is the best way to prepare them?

Thanks!

Thing is, there is a like brown muscular like tissue on the top of the Oyster. Does anyone know if you separate this?

They smell lush mind you!!!

Yes, only eat the white meat.

Excellent, so how do I separate this from the Oyster sitting on the bottom of the shell, any serving tips for added mmmm flavour?

Cut the muscle on the top of the shell to release it and use a SHARP knife.

Lemon, black pepper and/or tabasco

make sure you wash any bits of broken shell out!
