Oyster shucking is the process of opening an oyster to extract the meat inside. It is a skill that takes practice, but with the right technique, it can be done quickly and safely.
There are many different ways to shuck an oyster, but the most common method is to use an oyster knife. To do this, hold the oyster in one hand and insert the knife into the hinge of the shell. Twist the knife to pry the shell open, then use the knife to cut the adductor muscle that holds the oyster in place. Once the muscle is cut, the oyster can be removed from the shell.
