aww shucks

On Saturday, April 21 beginning at 2 p.m., popular raw bar and restaurant Oyster House (1516 Sansom Street, 215-567-7683) will host their third-annual Shucking Contest, featuring professional oyster shuckers from across Philadelphia competing for a $200 Grand Prize. An amateur shucking contest will follow the professionals, with guests hoping to earn a $100 Oyster House Gift Certificate. Admission to the shucking contest is $5 per person, and includes all the varieties of the shucked oysters as well as access to Oyster House’s bar and a special firkin of a local craft beer, which will be on a pay-as-you-go
basis.

“Oyster shucking is an art, and those who do it well rightly take pride in their ability,” says proprietor and third-generation restaurateur Sam Mink. “Last year, we had nine professional and amateur shuckers, and we can’t wait to see who takes home the prize this year.”

The professional shuckers, including competitors from Oyster House and others from renowned Philadelphia-area seafood houses, will be judged by UWISHUNU.com editor Allison Stadd, WHERE Philadelphia editor Kristina Jenkins, and celebrity photographer HughE Dillon on their speed and accuracy as they shuck their way through two dozen oysters, working in heats of three shuckers at a time. A one-second deduction will be made to each shucker’s overall time for each broken shell or ripped oyster. After a winner is crowned, amateur shuckers will face the same guidelines, working on one dozen oysters each for a chance to win a $100 Oyster House gift certificate. Onlookers can enjoy the fruits of the competitors’ labors; the oysters will be passed out to the crowd after each heat.
