Once you get the hang of it, nothing is more fun or rewarding than shucking oysters for friends. When you master the technique, you are guaranteed to gain new found respect. Don’t be surprised if your friends tell you they “didn’t think you had it in you” as they gasp in awe of your shucking skills.
