How did you clean the oysters? Did you remove the rubbery ring around it. We do get these frozen nz oysters where I live (Singapore). I've only eaten oysters once at a friend's place during my visit to Kerala. I watched her clean them. They came without shells( I mean removed by the fisher woman at the market). But I do not rember seeing the rubbery ring. While cleaning my friend removed the soft back mush. She also removed a transparent string from the oyster as they tend to explode while deep frying she says.
Outside India we see people eating whole raw oysters without removing anything from it, only the shells are left behind. :)
Do you do all the cleaning as my friend or you think it is OK to just rinse them? Please advice, I'm craving for oysters after seeing your mouthwatering dish.

Dear Anonymous,
To be honest with you, I'm also not an expert on mussel cleaning. Some bloggers suggest removing of that black ring. Then, like you, I also started thinking that outside India people eat mussel as such from the shell. So I decided not to remove the black ring. My husband removed them while eating; but me and my son ate the whole thing. I couldn't find any information online about removing that black ring.
The part that needs to be removed is the 'beard' of the mussel - it is the thread like growth on the mussel. This link shows how to remove the thread:
