This is an excellent instructional video. I really appreciate how complete it is. You have included anatomy, cleaning, and shucking all in one. And you have a very pleasant and inviting presentation style. Well done!
I live on Cape Cod and am lucky enough to have an oyster company right in my village. I just placed an order for my family's Feast of the Fishes next week; I do have a shell fishing license, but not the waders that will protect me from the cold! I needed a shucking refresher, and this was perfect -- grazie!
Thanks for this simple video. I love oysters but can’t go out to eat during quarantine. I just shucked my first dozen on my own and I quickly got the hang of it. Also oysters are much cheaper if you buy them at the store. The seafood clerk gave me an extra one for good luck and one of my oysters was a double stuck together. I’m never going out to a restaurant for oysters again!!
I live on Cape Cod, and just brought home a bag of oysters from the Cotuit Oyster Company down at the water. Even though I shellfish our local quahog clams, this is the first time I've had to shuck the larger oysters myself. Your video gave me the confidence I needed -- and by my 24th opening. I was getting pretty good! The Oysters Rockefeller are all set for our Christmas Eve Feast of the Fishes. And no more relying on the guys! Thanks so much.
Thanks for this video. Have a gig for the weekend shucking oysters. Had not shucked oysters in quite a while. Viewing your video brought it all back. THANKS
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.
+Karen Matthews dont forget to scrape the abducter muscles still attached off the shell too, those muscles are meaty very good tasting by them selves too almost as good as the body part. I use a spoons tip to scrape it all off clean.
I’ve had three raw oysters in my life. The first two were on Nantucket at my brother’s wedding reception in 2008 (they were catered by a famous oyster caterer, Spanky). I ate them in homage to the bride and groom. The third and most recent one was a few years ago at public seafood festival, also on Nantucket. I’m not a huge fan, but the pomp and circumstance around eating oysters makes it kind of fun.
On the NC coast, we held them in a leather work glove and shucked them in our hands. She didn't mention the little tiny worms that are swimming in the brine on the half shell--just eat'em with the oyster!
seeing how she shucks the oyster scares me....i put the knife thru my hand once and i never shuck an oyster without my hand being protected UNDER a thick towel id rather have to do a load of laundry than go thru the pain again
I EAT 300 OYSTERS AT THE BUFFET. I GET BANNED A LOT..LOL I USED TO BE A SHUCK ER. AS I OPEN IT I TAKE THE KNIFE AND GO STRAIT UP TOSS THE TOP THEN CUT THE MUSSEL AND FLIP
ok. we are a bottle of sparkling rose in. the guy at Whole Foods said we needed to use screwdrivers. yup- screwdrivers. because they aren’t shucking oysters tonight ON NEW YEARS EVE! so here we are, going at it blind. then my friend says “look up women shucking oysters on New Year’s Eve on RUclips” oh my, I said “that’s gonna bring up porn”. Yet- here are. we just shucked our very first oyster EVER. And it is all thanks to you. ♥️ This video was everything we needed and more. we particularly loved the little bed and blanket for the oyster 🦪 so sweet! best non porn women shucking oysters tutorial video ever!
I just can't imagine pulling something living out of the water, hacking into it and then eating it while it's heart is probably still beating.. somebody run a match under that thing or SOMEthing...
Poorly opened oyster. The top shell should be clean. You shouldn't be ripping all that lovely meat off when you remove the lid. If you're gonna make tutorial videos try to be good at what you're teaching.

Excellent video. Just to clarify, the oyster has one adductor muscle, connected to both shells. Clams have two, on either side of the hinge
Thanks for this! “Abductor” was making me cringe.
I never comment, but this was a great and concise video, thank you
Juli. This was just Awesome. I have 24 fresh, French Oysters to prepare haha. Your skill and commentary has been Very helpful :)

Thank you for this excellent tutorial.
Nice explanation. Great video.

I have never had a raw oyster before and I want to try them. You have inspired me to try. Thank you and great instruction video. :)

Your video was one of the best !!

Wow!! I love oysters. I like them with nothing on them too. Thank you for the lesson. It doesn't look that difficult.

So you eat the oyster alive?
On the NC coast, we held them in a leather work glove and shucked them in our hands. She didn't mention the little tiny worms that are swimming in the brine on the half shell--just eat'em with the oyster!
Oof. Or stick to cold water oysters?
@@veronicaspeedwell7530 I really don't know whether that would make a difference.
did she said liquor?
Thank you. Now I know where to start....I used to turn the oyster up side down and used a chisel to break open. Silly me.
See I told you you're a fucking idiot
Yes, I was an idiot, but I did not fuck.
Amazing tutorial I thank you.
seeing how she shucks the oyster scares me....i put the knife thru my hand once and i never shuck an oyster without my hand being protected UNDER a thick towel id rather have to do a load of laundry than go thru the pain again

Great explanation, but she really should lose some weight.
