- Legal Sea Foods' Executive Chef Rich Vellante takes you step by step through this incredible how-to-shuck tutorial using the best oysters from Cape Cod, sustainably farm-raised WiAnno Oysters. Follow his simple steps and you'll be shucking like a pro in no time!
After watching a couple videos of oyster shucking, I can finally say that I am now a certified fisherman.
Remember being drunk one time shucking, eating oysters in the dark with my hands & woke up in morning & my hands were all cut up hahaha,learned my lesson 🇳🇿
Already eating my Oyster at 1:40 after seeing the knife placement at 1:30, thanks!
Thanks so very much! Shucked a dozen today first time in my life to celebrate National Oysters Rockefellar Day Jan 10, 2023! Woot Woot
Thank you Chef! Love Legal Seafood!!
How about a one on how to make your awesome clam chowdaah?!?!
I’ve learned a lot about Oysters from this! And also what The Rock would look like if he hadn’t got all that muscle!
Great video very easy to understand thank you
I get them shucked! I tried & had a mess. Shout out to all Shuckers. Their really are surgeons 💜
Thanks for this. Now opened my first (west coast Scotland) one successfully without removing my finger nail this time. ;)
This was good to watch for me because I talked my way into a job shucking oyster 🦪 and I’ve never done this in my life.. thanks for uploading this
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. You won't hurt yourself.

Vid starts there
Thank you!!!! 😘
thanks
Thanks for a through explanation
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
really is a great video
This man is 100 percent aerodynamic
I have not had WiAnno. I find that many of these east Coast oysters do not have a very strong top shell at the hinge. I have better success finding a weak spot to enter the oyster down from the hinge. Just work the tip of the opening knife about a third of the way along the shell and then (very important)bear as much down as sideways (i.e. as much or more vertically than horizontally) . Usually, you'll see the oyster "drool" a bit if you have it right which gives away the split between the top and bottom of the shell. Then you can work your knife in more horizontally.
you sound like a pro
Oyster was already shucked. Great performance.
I'm so in love with oysters i eat like rwo to four dozens every Friday how much should i have to each tomes eating it
eat a few for me
Let's have an Oyster Mukbang party!
you can never eat to many
I eat more Oysters than I can stomach sometimes. I'll slurp the Oyster right out within a moment of shucking. It's my only vice.
If what they say about oysters is true, you must have a very happy wife 😉
Thanks man I needed that help
I've had oysters so bad.. nothing but shell pieces in every bite. I'd just spit them out. But I've since gone to high end places with no issues.
Very instructional. I would think that glove is very necessary. Like everything else, practice, practice, practice. Thank you.
every now and again I like going without the glove
Thanks Rich, I got to get ahold of one of those gloves!
how did the glove work out for you?
no if your using gloves like these especially if your opening 7000 + a day the shell and grit would go right through the holes not good we use gloves that are enclosed and the outside of the glove is covered in a thin strong layer of rubber the best ever.
Amazing glove...
Most excellent Video
It was open before
It helps to have a good new oyster knife.
old knives work also. all depends on how they are kept
thats the top secret secret
This is a way to shuck oysters... but do notice the chef did cut the belly of the oyster using this method...
My family owns an oyster farm and we consider this oyster a "cut" and sold for half the price of properly opened oysters.
He has the top and bottom correct, but you don't open from the hinge.... and you want to cut the bottom mussel first... WOW...
Steve Mazz never tried raw oyster but want to. Thanks for the info, would like to try yours if you sell them to the public
Hey, we all have our different ways. What may be considered a "mistake" to you may be acceptable in this man's eyes.
I followed your advice which made opening the oyster a ton more easier as opposed, than janking the hinge open.
So where do you open if not from the hinge?
I operate an oyster farm as well and we will enter from the hinge and do a slight twist. Then I’ll hold it open with my thumb while I gently slide against the top shell and cut the abductor. The shell just lifts off with zero resistance.
Where can I get a glove like that??
did you find one? I have the link if you need it.
Dude looks like The Rock's white cousin
yooo wtffff
Haha we are the same :)
lol
LOL he does
lol
That shucks for the oyster
Agent 47, always good with the blade.
I just realized this is a prop Oyster tho.
It takes some doing to open Eastern shore oysters.
And another thing about Wianno oysters!!!!
is the oyster alive , dead or frozen when your shucking it?
alive. Never eat an uncooked dead bivalve.
Didn’t know Mr Clean can shuck oysters
오오~~신기하네욬
잘보고갑니다^^오늘 굴사러가욥ㅋ
Nice! 👍
thanks.
cool, now shoot another video without a pre shucked oyster.
No Shuck'n around here! Rich knows how to shuck it! Just say'n!
and that's how its done
1. those gloves are not for the sharp point of a knife 2. so we have to get this kind of oyster only? never even heard of them 3. shrapnel?
Someone called it the lock and key technique.
I call it. Medieval gloves.
It’s called a chainmail glove.
bloody hell just open it
That man shucked his hair all off
Damn I wanted him to wipe the grit on the knife.
When you say "the liquor" do you mean the liquid?
He does. he natural juice inside an oyster is called "liquor" and you don't want to lose it.
Yes
And I still can't shuck an oyster. I must have difficult ones. 😢
Spends the first half of the video talking about the oyster, and when he finally gets around to opening it, his hand is blocking the view so you can't see how he gets the knife in there.
I just wanna know how to shuck an oyster, man, stop selling me on your weeeeeeanos.
You look like the rock duane Johnson
Pete from Jamies food team does it wrong.
He had previously shucked it so whats the point? 😑
Public service announcement. Video starts at 1:10. But really the info starts at 2:00.
That was “incredible”.
I stabbed my hand while chuckling oysters today. The oysters were blue point. My hand was gushing a lot of blood.

Dwayne "The Rock" shucks an oyster :)
Does every UA-camr video need annoying music playing to loud in the back ground?
Please just have a video with just talking the video is only a few minutes long if you need music to hold your attention there is something wrong with the video.
Feed me!
This could be 30 seconds
That oyster was already opened before you ever picked it up lier.
Yeah, this video is a joke just like the joker in the video. Here's a better one and quick to the point -ua-cam.com/video/TZvf-8n1WD0/v-deo.html
You're right.
mortimer snerd lol it was
LOL
your knife was NOT clean when your did the second part...you can see the piece on the knife and that should have been cleaned or wiped on a towel right after you poped the end in the beginning...so what happened is that your knife with the piece was put back in the oyster so the customer is going to taste a piece of dirt or shelll...............look at the video again...i have a sharp eye, im a videographer and a shucker.
Love the glove, Michael Jackson.
Jill Peters so you would rather see him cut his hand???
sorry bud thats ripped
Poor guy he looks so sick. I hope he beat that nasty cancer. Thanks for the video.
this guy is the shit
yep as the other comments have stated, bullshit.
