Grip each oyster, flat side up, in a folded kitchen towel. Find the small opening between the shells near the hinge and pry it open with an oyster knife. Try not to spill the delicious juices, known as the “oyster liqueur,” in the bottom shell. Cut the oyster meat loose from the top shell and then loosen the oyster from the bottom shell by running the oyster knife carefully underneath the body. Discard the top, flatter shell, keeping the oyster and juices in the bottom, deeper shell.2. Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat (450° to 550°F).3. Spoon some of your favorite dipping sauce on top of each oyster (recipes follow).4. Brush the cooking grates clean.
