- Shucking shellfish doesn’t have to be scary. Chris Sherman from Island Creek Oysters stopped by the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen to teach us how to properly shuck oysters and clams. From the correct type of knife, to the best techniques for prodding and twisting, to the necessity of gloves, Chris breaks down shellfish shucking into an easy and manageable task.
Then, he leaves us with essential plating tips, like resting the shells on salt to keep them from tipping over. Whether you prefer the sweetness of West Coast oysters, the salinity of East Coast oysters, or the nuance of Gulf oysters, you'll be prepared to shuck whatever comes your way.

I like how useful this is in case we have to battle Atlantis one day.
We can send Japan first and they'll eat most the enemies
Amen
Last Thanksgiving, one of my relatives brought 100 oysters from his friend's farm on the Virginia coast. I shucked around 30 and got the hang of it because I have watched enough videos or have seen it at restaurants. Make sure to wear the glove for many reasons, from safety to keeping them dry and clean. At the Union Oyster House in Boston, they bang the shucking knife on 150-year old stones and force the oyster hinge to cut from the downward force. One great condiment is Kikkoman Ponzu soy sauce with added vinegar. It's mild, sweet, citrusy, and has low sodium.
Now I'm craving oyster with caviar
Antonio Casano They have plenty of seafood in Africa
Antonio Casano eww why would I crave kids
Hairyurinal Lmao 😂
Its such a skill to be able to do this, Chris presents this in a really engaging and clear way! I hope I get to see him in other Oyster related videos
Caviar on the oysters. That’s baller!
1.) Don't rip the belly. 2.) watch the tiny broken shell particles before selling them 3.) use cold plate. Store them in low boy. Use crushed ice not salt.
I've had fried oysters, I've never had raw oysters and RN I'm craving raw oysters. Guess pickles and ham sandwiches will have to do.
Go to India, they have plenty of mutant swamp creatures for you to eat
I ordered oysters from Island Creek Ouster last December. So good, getting some for the holidays again.
Boy, I had to wade through a whole bunch of videos to finally get to one with a detailed explanation of the correct method of shucking. Great job!
I like your style, the camera shots, from the start. I also read the a smattering of the comments below, all of it made me smile.
Yoooo I'm super excited to try this for my wife who asked that we have a nice getaway with all you can eat oysters! Now I can do it myself AND introduce the clam experience. Awesome stuff man!
I live where these oysters are from.. they’re amazing top notch and I shucking love them
Why does everyone have to be extra happy on this channel?!?!
This is super addicting to watch I love oysters so much ❤️👍🏻
That's amazing. I haven't eaten oysters in a while so, now I have more info and tips for next time, thank you.
Youve got to! we all should eat more
Oysters, clams and cockles!
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 and you won't hurt.
I'm a short drive from Apalachicola. And Chefed on Cape Cod for a few seasons. And I love all oysters that I've tried. What a neat dude and cool video. We have great ones down here in Apalachicola Bay. But there's several kinds up the Eastern Seaboard and I love the variety
I ate a lot of oysters when I was younger but my mom always baked it. Ate it with salt pepper lemon. Good shit.
I like to mix bit of tabasco, lemon juice, and soy sauce when eating raw oysters.
I like eating oysters naked (plain), only when they're so good that don't need anything.
@@bobbiusshadow6985 I like eating them naked. Both myself, my date, and the oyster
no wrong way to do it, but you always should try one of the plate with no sauce
That’s the kind of episodes I like 👌
This sort of informational video is fantastic and I hope y'all might consider more of them, maybe some light butchery ;)
Thanks I learned a lot from this!!!
I've had oysters twice this year.
Once with cheese sauce, the other tempura style, both amazing.
Kilpatrick is next I think.
I also had clams for the first time this year and I love them.
thisdamnthingy time to challenge yourself and try oysters raw!
I think the first one I ever had was raw, I was drunk, it was a bad time.
That being said, I wouldn't be totally against having another shot at it.
The only way is to eat them raw! The rest is such a waste
you have to eat them raw but make sure you are at a good location
honestly this was useful af!! ive shucked my share of oysters but this is better than ive ever had lol
Hello my friend. Good video. Thank you for sharing
thanks for knowledge sharing.
I love oysters 😍😍
Nothing like getting home after a long day, popping in that Despicable Me DVD and throwing back a few Minion-ette clams
Bryce from 13 reasons why after graduating high school
Set the raw oyster on a saltine cracker, add lemon juice , a touch of Tabasco sauce and a dab of horseradish , chase with cold beer! Raw oysters Florida style.
i don't even eat oysters why am i watching this
Craving for knwoledge?
It’s provocative
You should eat some, they’re delicious.
Oysters are the Viagra/Cialis of nature.
@@UNPOCOLOCO444 no they arent lol
My dad was a sois chef at a lobster house in Santa Monica for years. He just used a small butter knife
sus
Who's craving for some oysters now? :)
🤗meeeee
@@LasVegasEDM pqq
Me, and I don't even like oysters 🤣
I just went and picked a few dozen perfect oysters straight from the pacific plus a half dozen dungeness crab. Tonight, while feasting, I'll remember your name.
Those are the same gloves i wear at my warehouse job
Yeah, I used the same gloves when I used to make band blades for foam cutting machines.
Curious is there a different knife you need for scallops and mussels or do those two type of knifes cover all shellfish types on can come across ?
If you have plan to visit Korea and you like oyster, You can eat 1kg of oysters with around 10 Us dollar.
WTF YUMMY
Where!? Im there now
Great video. I love to shuck and eat the various oysters farmers grow here in the Narragansett Bay. Perfect companion to a craft beer. By the way, what caviar would you recommend for the average person who cannot drop $200 on an ounce of said fish eggs?
Love raw oysters, steamed clams, caviar, steamed crabs, shrimp etc.. . been eating them all my life... also love hush puppies..
Clams on the 1/2 shell are on my top 3 favorite foods to eat.
Hey Munchies Staff' Mind if I make a small request? ok great thanks.
Can you guys make a short video called "Tasting the Top Shelf" with Farideh and show us whats in all those jars behind the person cooking and have them just run through them tasting away. haha. Its just something I've always been curious about when i see it in a scene.
Thanks Love you guys & keep up the great work.
If you don't have gloves use a kitchen towel. I work at a seafood restraunt and that's what we use
I've never tried oysters. Always thought it was gross but how many videos I've seen of oysters and how many people love them makes me feel like I'm missing out and wanna try em
I don't like them. But I love clams. I would recommend trying both.
Oysters are a little more soft in texture and have a sweeter flavor than clams.
Welcome to TH-cam at 3am
I like just a little dab of wasabi and a few drops of ponzu or soy sauce. My favorite way. I’ll eat a bunch this weekend.
OMG your Pothos...😍❤️❤️❤️
4:48 had me dead. ROFL
I love oysters with hot sauce and lemon oh my god I’m craving them now.
shut up
They’re sooo good with hot sauce!!
@@saxandphone6440 fuck you
I never liked them. And i just had a couple about a month ago. Now i get em whenever i can
New Zealand Bluff oysters are the best in the world !
One thing I frequently encounter while shucking is that tiny pieces of the shell get into the oyster. Any advice on how to avoid that?
You can gently scrub the oyster before shucking it, at least is what I do usually. Scrubbing removes the flakey part of the shell that dumps inside the oyster ruining everything
Another thing to do besides scrubbing the shells is to wipe off your knife after you start to pop the shell off.
Oysters: evolves shell to protect itself
Mankind: *I'm Gonna end this shellfish's whole career*
Kevin Song oysters say.... ha u just ate my shit
can you use white rice ? instead of kosher salt?
Also can you freeze raw clams in there shell to use 3 to 6 months later or should you unshell them and freeze them deshelled ? Just curious if it make a significant difference in preserving them for long times
neither
I have kept razor clams alive for a full week in the fridge using the wet towel trick. Damm I love seafood. 😃🦪🦐🦀🦞🦑🍻👍
is there a way to tell which direction the clam is sitting?
best time to eat oyster? tnx
No discussion on the safety of eating raw oyster & clams? I'd love some more information on this. I know buying shell fish from a farmed operation like this is typically safe but what if you're procuring them for yourself from the water?
When I was in elementary school, we went on a field trip to the seafood museum. This was in Biloxi, MS. The guy working the oyster station told us that at least one person die per year from eating raw oysters while he was shucking a raw oyster and eating it. I found out years later that he died. This was almost 30 years ago. The number of people dying per year went up. This is only in the south though.
@@PokeYourEyez what a way to die, worth it
Really informative! Just curious, do these animals feel pain?? I've always wondered this. I want to eat an oyster but... Yea I don't know :D It doesn't look tastefull
no they have no nervous system
What can i do to make aure i dont get sick from eating raw oysters and what should i do if i get sick not seeing a doctor
I just got oysters to try for the first time. Mine was tough to open, but the meat itself is a light gray/transparent color. Is this okay to eat?
yes that's the normal color. If they are nice, cold and fresh they should be fine.
ACC. 3:52PM
Are oysters not filter fish ? I heard that they have to be treated before eating as they filter water , is that correct ? Because he looks like he’s just eating them straight out of the water.
Who Chooses tje music for these muchies vids, its to funny
Well shucks, these side-splitting jokes just write themselves!
Something that blows my mind every time I watch these shellfish shucking things they all act like it's f****** brain surgery God 😅🤣😅🤣😂😂😅
I use a flat head screw driver
Yummy 😋
👍
Him getting stitches by a drunk doctor that he’s making oysters for. Mood
I'm concerned now, I just bought 5 dozen fresh live oysters and have frozen them. Will they be ok?
No, cook them.
Gloves are for frightened stabie newbies forcing too much. A sidetowl/dishcloth is more than enough, including on day one. Pop and scrape, wipe the oyster knive all the time, never stick it in dirty, and keep it all very clean. Perfect flip and present, and if there's even the tiniest bit of shell or skank, it is a failure and a discrace to the oyster. The way to learn is to get a job doing it, or host a party with forgiving friends and shuck a couple hundred of them in a row.
stabbie? people who stab too much
BRYCE WALKER
But every where I go they have them on ice or frozen, is that bad? Anyone who knows please respond
No it's not bad, all oyster bar do that, they were well alive when they opened them. It's just to keep them cold. (Not suppose to be frozen tho)
Clean the oyster shell prior to shucking
So much talk about tools but no mention of the types of oysters. I used to think oysters were too salty gor me, then found out I had only tried one type - tried a less briny kind and liked it.
Someone on Munchies that doesn't cuss? I almost thought I was on the wrong channel.
I’m really tired and thought the thumbnail for this video was a janky ass Sonic
LolImEthan was watching this after a long week at work and your comment made me go back and laugh out loud mate thank you
Sand inside the oyster when eating is that normal
oh
i like clams
Frieing an oyster should only be done after you have had several raw. The Fried oyster takes on a different flavor. Raw is much better.
my chef once challenged me who could shuck 100 oysters the fastest, lets just say, i was able to make my own shift for work for a month. lol 😂
Thanks to Munchies, i dont hammer my clams and oysters open now 😃
Do you think it hurts the oyster to have it's shell opened? Serious question.
Are you trying to be woke? Lol Pretty sure that Molluscs don't feel shit at all
Recipes with Resa no they do not have a complex brain like mammals or humans.
@@Gryptonaire Not woke but these are things I think about, they are alive after all. 😃
@@scoville24 thanks
Sometimes really fresh Oysters scream or weep
I use to chuck oysters for my dadwhen I was a kid we used a flat head
U might try using spoon
"Shuck me, suck me, eat me raw"
Dude that's gonna be my slogan for the year 😂😂😂😂
Ponzu sauce or a few drops of scotch.
I have a place in Bayonne, NJ where they shuck them on the spot. Susan and I get a tray of 12. we squeeze lemon on then and use a seafood fork to eat and CHEW each one. They always give us fresh hors radish and I eat that after the real food. Clams are for steaming and eating with butter and beer.
RIP SHUCK DUDE..SHUCK IN PEACE MY DUDE
How do you prevent bits of shell falling into the cup. Some oyster shells are brittle around the edges.
Most people have a cup of water on the side to dip their oyster in there for this problem.
@@PokeYourEyez You will lose the oyster liquor though which is what makes oyster so good.
James Kwon That only works for oysters outside of Louisiana. We have brain eating amoeba down here. Lol. Plus, 10% of our oysters have worms. You can go to any restaurant down here and find worms in your oysters.
Is he eating it raw?
What about mussels?
I've never heard of people eating mussels raw
everything you need to know to get up to speed on clams 🤣🤣
I’m pretty sure I didn’t order a biography on how to eat me.
Been shucking for a while ...but still found some good ideas here for shucking, e.g. using towels and also kosher salt....caviar on oysters yuck, but part owner of Jay's oyster swears by it too. Way too much brine for me.
Sorry munchies but I think y'all missed put on a ton of information on this one. Like who's allergic to which and if it's possible to have bad ones. How to tell? So many questions left unanswered. On to the next video.
God I really wish I didn't have hepatitis
I use a screw driver
Oysters and clams and just clap your hands and just clap your hands.
