 - 2 lemons

 - 1/2 cup melted butter

 - Salt and pepper to taste

 - Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1- Begin by steaming the mussels. Place them in a large pot with a small amount of water. Cover and steam over medium heat until the mussels have opened, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any mussels that do not open.

2- While the mussels are steaming, prepare the lobsters. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the lobsters and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are bright red and cooked through. Remove from the pot and let cool slightly before cracking open the shells and removing the meat.

3- Next, prepare the crabs by cleaning them and removing the top shell. Crack the claws and legs slightly to allow for easier eating.

4- Shuck the Jersey oysters and arrange them on a platter along with the mussels, lobsters, and crabs.

5- Melt the butter and season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
