Oyster shucking to eat fresh

Well a 1st for Roger and I, shucking our own fresh oysters. These oysters we purchased 'factory direct' this morning in Smoky Bay on our way here. $10 for a bakers dozen (13) straight off the conveyor belt as sorting the mornings haul. Have to confess no shucking by me this time - too timid. Roger was getting the method happening, after a couple with shell grit involved.
Couldn't get over how big these Smoky Bay oysters are. I totally enjoyed my half dozen - Roger not convinced that the effort and mess worth it.....but it wasn't so messy as the method improved.
Beaut entree before we go and order some burgers for our tea tonight.Read more
