How to choose fresh, delicious oysters
- You should choose oysters that have tightly closed shells. This ensures that the oysters are still alive, have a lot of flesh, and retain the seawater inside.
- Prioritize buying oysters with short shells, round bodies, and not too large, as these are usually tastier and firmer.
- Do not buy oysters if you knock on the shell and do not hear a sound, as this indicates that the oyster has died. Also, avoid oysters that have open shells, are slimy, and have an unpleasant fishy smell.
What is mozzarella cheese? Where to buy?
- Mozzarella cheese is a traditional cheese from Italy made primarily from water buffalo milk or milk from other animals.
- Fresh mozzarella typically has a white or yellow color depending on the livestock’s diet, which varies with the seasons. This type of cheese is often formed into solid blocks or shredded, and when heated, it melts, has a chewy texture that can be stretched, and offers a rich, creamy flavor.
- You can buy mozzarella cheese at large supermarkets, specialized ingredient stores, or you can purchase it online from reputable e-commerce sites.

Prepare the oysters
First, soak the oysters in a bowl of saltwater for about 20 – 30 minutes to help them release dirt.
Then, rinse the oysters with water. To ensure they are clean, you should use a brush to scrub the surface of the oyster shells and rinse them under running water.
After that, use a knife to separate one shell of the oyster and place it on a plate.
How to clean oysters without a fishy smell- After purchasing, you should soak the oysters in clean water for about 2 – 3 hours to soften the dirt on the outside, making the cleaning process easier.
- After cleaning the oyster shell and separating it, you can eliminate the fishy smell by soaking the oysters in a little salt and cornstarch or flour for about 5 minutes, then rinse and drain.
