Heritage Skills Workshop: Oyster Shucking
Advertisement
(Age 18+) Indigenous people have nurtured and harvested the gifts of the Salish Sea, also known as Puget Sound, for generations. When Euro-American settlers began moving here, they too found shellfish and other seafood in abundance. Today, Washington state is the largest producer of bivalve shellfish in the country.
What is shucking?
“Shucking” is a culinary term used to describe the removal of the outer shell or “shucks” from either corn or oysters. Interestingly, the term is not used in relation to any other food items, and corn and oysters have very little else in common. Join this hands-on, in-person workshop to learn how to shuck oysters, one delicious bite at a time.
