I'd never successfully shucked an oyster before, yet had almost put the knife into my hand at least twice trying. After watching this video, I shucked 108 oysters for a Super Bowl party without injury. Thank you!

This is a better explanation than most, watching for the shell to "give" it happens quick when it happens.
I have been trying a new skill lately, shucking oysters.
Nice reward for you your efforts!

I love straight to the point videos about food/cooking. I love charbroiled oysters and think I can do better than the restaurants

Yesterday, just for laughs, I bought some raw oysters from the grocery store. I started to try opening them and then I realized that the disaster potential was high. I am glad that I hesitated and watched this video before I proceeded any further. The potential disaster wound up being an enjoyable experience. I did however have to improvise on the oyster knife, as I had no such thing available. Thanks for posting.

Very nice. Thank you so much. You make it mush easier than the way I've been doing it. And safer, too.

Before shucking oysters I like to pick up my Cell Phone and dial then I start to work!

Thank you for posting. Very helpful with protecting the hand. I had to use a screwdriver as I don't have an oyster knife.

That was a great looking oyster! Lots of Ouster Liquor!

You should try the East Hampton Shucking tool, it's the safest and easiest way to open oysters. It keeps your hand away from the knife. You won't hurt yourself.

Look how young Dan looks here! Definitely a tad more camera-groomed these days. Still, very enjoyable vid. Great tips. Thanks.
