Shucks! I wish I had been there. Now I’m hungry for oysters. We should go somewhere for lunch.

Some of those shells look like you really forced your way in.

My zeal for oysters will not be slowed down by a mere shell of the critter! I'm definitely not a pro shucker, but way better than anyone else in the fam! :)

I grew up in Texas in a beach house on a canal. The house was built atop a bulkhead with a boathouse and all that junk. In the water, along the bulkhead we'd get oysters growing.
During the cooler months, my gramps and dad would put a tall ladder down into the canal, get in the water with a screwdriver, a hammer, and a bucket, and would knock the oysters off of the bulkhead into the bucket. Then we'd sit on our dock, and crack open the oysters with a knife and eat them with ritz crackers.
Now I live in Washington, and the crazy variety of oysters you can get is amazing. I'm a big fan of kumamotos now, and they're almost all I buy.

I drink my vodka and Tabasco from my girlfriend’s golden slipper sir.

Only way to get better is to keep doing it!
My preferred technique is to go by the hinge in the back, and one thing I learned regrettably late was that it works so much better if I wiggle the knife up and down in addition to left and right. I think I learned this after years of struggling.

Narrator: The horseradish was, in fact, for the oysters....

PNW oysters, from Oysterville of all things!

If you get bored of raw oysters, throwing them on the grill with hot/buffalo sauce is great. You don’t even have to shuck.
