Along with the festive cocktails you may need to eat seafood, and in order to eat properly, you need to know some subtleties. Many people refuse to try them after seeing the strange tongs they have to use. But eating gourmet seafood is not that difficult.
Oysters are served open and on ice. But if you find them closed, take the shell with a napkin, with its flat side facing up. Insert the tip of the special knife between the two halves of the sea creature. Insert the blade inwards and turn it to open the halves.
Then take the full half in your left hand and with the help of a special fork for oysters, which looks like a trident, push the place and eat it. Before that, pour lemon juice over it.
Mussels are served if not peeled, then at least in dissolved shells. In case there are shells on the table, take the special clip with your left hand and fix the shell with it. With the right, remove the meat with a fork.
Cooked shrimp are easy to clean - but you can clean them on the beach with your hands. In a fine restaurant you should serve them completely clean. If the shrimp are on your plate, eat them with a fork, and if they are larger, cut with a knife. But if they are in a common dish, take one and dip it in sauce. If you are served uncleaned shrimp, wrinkle your nose and return the plate to the waiter.
Remember that sometimes the chef puts one or two uncleaned shrimp for beauty, you can not eat them.
Squid are usually served as breaded rolls, which are consumed with a fork and knife. Lobsters are more complex. They are usually served cut and each takes a portion.
To remove the meat from it, you must use a special utensil. At one end there is a trident fork, and at the other - a flat spoon to extract the juice. While removing the meat, boldly grasp the shell with your fingers.
Crabs are easy to eat in friendly company, but if you have to stay in position, you will have to use a whole set of tools. First, a clip is used, which literally cuts the shell.
Next is the work with the three-toothed fork, which removes the meat. Finally, remember that the water that is served in a bowl in which a lemon floats is not for drinking, but for rinsing your hands.
