Shucking and Grilling Oysters: A Beginner's Guide

[@jacktastick]

You make that look easy. I'm still healing from the last oysters I had. 😅

[@kobebyrant9483]

😂😂hahahaha

[@MeshMwah]

I've been to the Chincoteague seafood festival once about 5,6 years ago.. freshest oysters and clams I've had. The clam chowder was great as well ❤

[@Bythewater]

Very cool!

[@adancy7579]

I'm out west now.. returning to EC asap... Do u have a recommendation in the meantime for chowder I can buy?

[@8cj1ec]

It's so much cheaper getting your oysters and shucking them yourselves especially here in Louisiana. We got a half sack of oysters which has about 7-8 Dozens of oysters for only 45 bucks. That's insanely cheap for that amount of oysters. Shucking isn't too hard at all., it's definitely worth it.

[@phowa00]

I use a ratcheting screwdriver to open them up. Just use the flat bit in the hinge

[@ImGoudaReviews]

Use a rag for placement so u don't stab your hand. Fellow oyster shucker. Got a nice scar

[@Bythewater]

Thanks!

[@WordsToCookBy]

Yeah, I have roughed up my hand pretty good as well when I did not use a towel or gloves. Knife slipped and gnarled up my hand on an oyster.

[@johnnicholas2157]

You should try the East Hampton Shucking tool, it's the safest and easiest way to open oysters. You dont hold down the oyster down with your hand. It keeps your hand away from the knife. You won't get hurt using this tool.

Love the choice of music "Sunday's Best".. 😊😊

[@bobbyhill1013]

My oysters are so brittle lately 😭 . Entire case of pirate pearls and the shells are crumbly 😮

[@Bythewater]

That’s the worst when they happens!

[@jasonh.8709]

It’s the downfall of Chincoteague oysters , they’re notoriously thin shelled and can be frustrating to shuck to say the least lol

There was like s miniature crab 🦀 in the first one i opened?

[@X1GenKaneShiroX]

What can the oyster shells be used for? The part that people seems to throw away and not eat it.

[@Bythewater]

They're actually returned to the bay and used as substrate to grow more oysters.

[@Follow_Jesus_Daily]

Would a flathead screwdriver work?

[@AssumenothingTurdbrain]

Fish, like tuskfish, use tools to open shellfish by smashing them against sharp-edged rocks, similar to but distinct from otters You know cuz I have fins instead of arms

[@mikecox8475]

I used to work at a restaurant where I had to shuck oysters every time they were ordered lol idk why but it was satisfying

[@teezybecookin]

Man got nuts of steel lol. I would’ve been halfway to the ER by now.

[@susieblanco2722]

😂 my man bought me some today and now I’m on KZbin trying to see how to cook them

[@char_B]

Great.... for folks who like shell grounds.

[@Bythewater]

A little extra calcium never hurt no one

[@char_B]

@@Bythewater Certainly worth it for oysters!

[@mrobertson188]

In florida we throw them on the grill and the shell pops open ehen theyre done

[@Bythewater]

That works too!

[@paularcaria]

Oyster popin is an art

[@Bythewater]

It is and I wish I was a better artist 🤣😂

[@jonniemartin8282]

Thanks for sharing, anything but chicken

[@Bythewater]

Agreed!

[@diversefloater8768]

They open by themselves when you cook them.

[@Bythewater]

Correct but you can get more flavor to the oyster if you shuck them first

[@Trần.Tấn.Thành-Channel]

Why shuck oyster first just put it on the grill and heat or cook it automatically to open the mouth then scrap the gummy part

[@Bythewater]

I like the taste and presentation betrer

[@wowdogg1978]

[@howardharaway2259]

I'm sorry dude but you're lying or DILUSIONAL. Raw oysters are not delicious . Why? They have no taste ! That's why you gotta add a bunch of ingredients to it to make it worth eating. If anything, its like tasting a salty hocker. Mussels DO have a good taste and texture. More dense, and better more versatile recipes. However, I still love Ersters more for some reason. Lol

[@Bythewater]

I think you’re eating the wrong oysters…

[@bobbyhill1013]

Your definitely eating the wrong oysters.

Disgusting. Leviticus 11:9-12 “‘Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales. 10 But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales-whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water-you are to regard as unclean. 11 And since you are to regard them as unclean, you must not eat their meat; you must regard their carcasses as unclean. 12 Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you."
