I wish all youtube videos were so clear and concise like these! Love ya Tom!
“Be careful not to spill any juice”
Next shot:
::Oyster juice running down his hands::
LOL! yes
Very well done!
Great presentation! Differences between east and west coast oysters and knives for opening is especially helpful!
Thanks Thomas Joseph, this video, like all of yours is clear, to the point, and very helpful to me. Keep 'em coming!
He made it look so easy😩 but wonderful explanation!💛
i love this! thanks for the lesson!
I made my oyster knife, I took the thicker blade and made it shorter and it's much easier to crack the Oyster and helps prevent getting your hand. We shuck about 10 cases a day on a slow day. Great video my friend.
Thank you for this very thorough video
I prefer to just throw it against the wall. 60% of the time it works every time.
Ha ha😂
That doesn't make sense
lmao
Franklin TheBoss its a anchorman quote. its a true fact.
60% of the time it works everytime ???
That was a perfect video Thomas! Thank you so much!
Dang boy! I like the way you shimmy that oyster knife! 😆
Thank you!! Just shucked my first oyster, came out perfect!
very well made video!
Absolutely brilliant video! Really enjoyed watching, thank you for this... 🙏🏻😋
Thank you for this✊🏽
I‘ve never seen a chef looking that good!
Thank you for this
Helped us!! Thanks!
I love the way you explain
Yay!! Now I know what's wrong with my oysters!thank you sooooo much!
Good tips. There are few cooking videos on UA-cam about oysters. I only eat oysters once a year. It's a family tradition to make oyster dressing for Thanksgiving.
Oyster dressing?
I'm shucking oysters for the first time tomorrow for Thanksgiving and this helps me feel prepared, thank you for how clear this was!
How did that work for you, was it easy?
@@M3D5J7 it worked great! I've now shucked both kinds that are shown in the video, but on Thanksgiving we had shorter ones. These were quite easy to shuck overall. A couple months later I had the opportunity to also shuck a bunch of the longer style; we did not have a different knife for that which made it a little more difficult but still doable.
Thank you so much!
I use a flat head screw driver. Nicked myself many times but it got the job done
thanks martha!!!
I appreciate how straight I the point this video is.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing this video here!
Nice video
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 get hurt.
thanks for the hint!
great shucking video!
Im actually a raw bar at work and Im struggling a lot thanks for the vid I hope to see a lot of improvement today
What music is on background in the end? :D But thanks for showing how you do it with oysters too.
just love this - oysters are so yummy! would you show us how to peel and cut mangos? I'd love to learn that, too -
A technique I like to use :) if you’re just eating by yourself. Buy alphonso mangos. Two tumbs and press it all over till it gets soft, and you can just squeeze out the pulp straight from the mango and eat it :D
It's an "adductor" muscle though explanation was excellent.
Can You do a video demonstrating crabs ? Love Your channel.. Keep it up!!
Brincy George he has one on breaking down crab.
when you make the first cut you should clean your knife then continue, or you will end up with a disaster like in 3:30.
What, the shell shrapnel in his hand?
I yearn for Eastern oysters. West Coast giants are tasteless - but the smaller WA and Vancouver ones are nice.
Our Restaurant literally goes through about 5 to 7 cases a hour. Great video Chef.
I love you😭💕
Not bad. You didn't make any errors. Good video.
You taught me how to shuck oysters, I work at a restaurant for about a year and a half and I shuck about maybe 3000 oysters if it wasn’t for this video I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it
never been so early :D love u tom
Its not an abductor muscle. It's an adductor muscle
Was gonna tell this goof the same thing. Fake chef lol.
lol the muscle abducts the chef hahahaa
Prince EDWARD Island (no "s"). PEI oysters are the best of the east coast oysters.
Made me hungry
Lets say you buy some and put in fridge on ice for a dinner in a day or 2 ... wouldn't most trays/bowls not 'drain away the water' like suggested? If so, what kind of container would be best to store oysters in fridge with the ice below it?
thanks.
I have the west coast oyster now and it is so hard for me to shuck it. I gave up! Lol!
Learning as we go....
Make sure to flip the oyster flat side up before shucking!
plz do video for croissant ！
No mention of cleaning silt and shell fragments at all?
Akoustikus that first oyster had SOOO much shell in it... he just did the flip and hid all the sins..
With the hinge facing towards you which side is the abducter muscle on??
prab singh with the hinge facing you, with the cup of the oyster upside down (rounded part should cup into your finger), the adductor is going to be closer to the top right of the oyster 🦪 sorry it took a year to answer your question.
I've grown up around fish and the ocean my whole life, nothing from the sea really has a "sweet" smell. Especially anything like oysters and clams. They will smell like the soil they live in. In my area, that tends to be kinda foul and occasionally sulfur smelling.
So... decided not to listen to you and shuck without the towel. First try cut my thumb a bit so I changed it up and used the towel! (I had a bush-crafting knife not any shucking knives)
THANK YOU! I would have easily put the knife through my hand if I didn't. :)
I went to an oyster farm once (Drake's near SF) and I saw the young lady working there opening the oysters from the lip part of the shell. And she was real quick too. I have no idea how she did it because there are really no entry points for the oyster knife to slip through between the 2 shells. But she was using just a regular oyster knife and her speed in opening those those oysters would put a typical oyster bar oysterman to shame.
I'm from pei and I'm trying to get implored at a oyster farm
I live an hour away from PEI :)
Now do a video on how to shuck New Orleans oysters. Those suckers are no joke.
I luv 😍 oysters. Unfortunately, I don't have the choice of East coast oysters. But I do thoroughly enjoy the "fragile" West coast oysters that I do find.
Tip: If put your oysters in a preheated oven for a few mins you can shuck them more easily and quickly.
Flathead works fine
I honestly thought this said "suck".....
when oyster is opened, CHECK for grid bits from shucking it, THEN, flip it over to for presentation
Oh man that Philly flip. XD
I've never felt so white in my life.
B Black
Your name makes the comment funnier
I don't get it.
True. The blah-ack way would be if he robbed someone of the oysters prior to schucking.
For real yo 😂🤣
@@_.Leo_. woww what a disgusting thing to say….
I Love Oysters!
So I bought a box of 100 oysters and it’s way to much for me to eat so now I’m inviting people over lol what a good mistake to make tho
Here we eat oyster with spicy vinegar. It's fantastic👌🏼
I'm an oyster and sushi purist. No vinegar and hardly ever soy sauce.
my man left so many tiny pieces of shell on that second one lmaao
What the Shuck!!!
....when did Martha start Rocking the Stash
It's Prince Edward Island, not Prince Edward's Island. Or, P.E.I.
Kel M. Hill ok if u weren’t joking get a life
Tyler Durden y
@@coochiecutter.4457 It's Daylight Saving Time, not Daylight Saving's Time!
Marko Polo 0069 never said anything about that
I'm from the east coast and I shuck oysters from the front of the oyster. My oysters are displayed on the flat side of the shell
in the philippines we eat this by the bucket.
Where in the Phils do you get that? I've never seen them in the fish markets in Manila or in the Visayas.
It is an Adductor Muscle...not abductor muscle. Simple mistake but think about the shell. It is being added back together by the muscle and not abducted away from each other.
I recommend that once you open them and cut the first muscle, you dunk them into a third pan of ice water to get rid of any extra dirt or broken shell inside. sometimes they also contain tiny crabs that live between the tissue. Once it is clean then cut the second muscle.
But then you lose all the yummy juices inside...
Japanese wash salt water
I should have specified that the ice water is salt water
I instantly thought of Shellos...
hahaha same
You are missing the other and tastiest kind of oyster: European flats, aka Ostrea edulis, aka "belons".
Best way to knock back an oyster is in a shot of Grey Goose
I can never imagine myself eating this😝 it looks so slimy 😝😝😝
But its oh so good. Don't stare at them, just eat, you will become an addict. And they aren't slimy as in having a thick coat of slime, they are just very fragile bodied. You cannot pick up on the slimy part when they are in your mouth, they are just succulent and they are not chewy. I only take a couple of bites and then down it goes.
and knowing that they're alive 😲 Yayyyks😰🐚🦂
Good. More for me.
They're heavenly, when you can find the good ones. I love the oysters up in New Brunswick Canada. They are so sweet/salty and succulent. The oysters I have gotten at restaurants in Florida are less tasty.
It's actually really good im just 10 amd i eat it
He loves the “plump juicy meat”!!! Lol
throw in some diced asparagus and with sycamore sticks...would be more plump n juicy.... oh yeaaa :p
Same
y must we flip the oyster? srry i dont eat oyster dats y
Presentation and to make sure people who eat it know that you severed both abductor muscles.
adductor not abductor
I don't eat oysters so excuse me for sounding dumb but if they're alive, that means that eating raw oysters is eating a live oyster right??? 😳
right!?!? right
It's pretty much dead as soon as you rip it apart with the knife.
riff5fki ahhh, ok, that makes sense.
Yes, when an oyster dies. That's when they start to go bad. So up until the point the muscles are cut, they are alive. Now there are arguments about when an oyster is actually "dead" because some oysters hearts can still beat for hours after they've been cut. Others, they stop right then. That's just the heartbeat though, who's to say they don't just die right after that first or second chomp of your teeth. These little bivalves are amazing.
Yes, they're still alive when you eat them raw. Or at least they should be.
How oyster taste like I had never tried
Like seawater. I really love them. It's a texture thing to get over though.
They taste great, but it feels like a giant slimy booger.
Nishad Shaikh pretty good ..i liked the Liquid inside of the oyster
So today I learned that the east coast doesn't have oysters, just clam imposters.
That’s one flaming oyster!
Get a life
Adductor muscle
I read that title as «how to suck an oyster»
3:05
You’re welcome
And there I was, making a huge mess.
Awwwwwe shucks!
I wonder if oysters feel pain since they’re actually alive and ur cutting off their muscles.
I am sure they do. But if you eat any meat, it is the same thing!
If you eat oysters on the half shell they are actually alive when you eat them
Here's how to prepare oysters @
oysters from west coast are more fragile
Oysters? Excuse me, Gulf coast!!
Oysters are making a major comeback in Massachusetts - gov't and citizens making it happen. They are as delicious as any I have had on the gulf coast - all good!
The Massachusetts Oyster Project is working to restore oyster populations to estuaries around the state. We started this to improve water quality and offset storm run-off pollution, but we found that there were other significant benefits. We are improving fishing by supporting the food chain; 200 other species will live in an oyster reef.
Remember to clean the dirt and SHELL out of your oysters 🦪
