shell

The shell of an oyster is inedible. The main components of oyster shell are protein and chitin. The structure of oyster shell is different from that of oyster meat, so it is hard and difficult to digest. Moreover, there are a lot of algae and bacteria outside the oyster shell, which affects the health of the body.

There are many dirty things hidden around the inner skirt, especially the viscera of oysters generally contain a lot of heavy metals and other pollutants, so it is generally not allowed to eat their viscera when eating.

How to deal with oysters quickly?

1. Add enough water into the basin, then add 1 spoon salt, 1 spoon baking soda and 1 spoon white vinegar in turn, and stir well. Feeding here is the key. Adding salt to the water is convenient for oysters to spit sand and kill insects. Add baking soda and white vinegar to soften the dirt on the oyster shell by bubbles and acidity, which is convenient for subsequent scrubbing.

2. Put the fresh oysters into the water and let them stand for 10 minute to spit sand. Because there is a lot of sediment in the shell of fresh oysters, adding salt and white vinegar at this time can change the density and smell in the water, which will interfere with the normal breathing of oysters, and oysters will spit sand themselves for subsequent cleaning.

3. Brush all oysters evenly with a brush. Oyster shells softened by feeding can be easily cleaned with a brush. At this time, oysters also spit out a lot of sediment. It is recommended to put one into another basin after brushing, so that the effect of repeated brushing is better.

4. Continue to pry open the shell with a knife to remove the black and yellow. At this time, if you don't mind the smell of black and yellow viscera of oysters, you can steam them directly after washing. If you are particularly particular, you can pry open the shell and dig out the fishy smell inside, even if it is completely cleaned.
