The top oyster shuckers from across Canada travel to Tyne Valley, PEI to compete in the Canadian Oyster Shucking Championship. The winner of this shucking event will represent Canada at the World Oyster Shucking Championships in Galway, Ireland. This event is like the Olympics for oyster enthusiasts. Oyster Shuckers need to shuck 18 oysters as quickly and as neatly as possible! Judging of the shuckers is judged based on how the oyster is shucked, any degrades in the oyster post-shucked, and presentation to judges. The Canadian Oyster Shucking Championship is the kitchen party that you have yet to witness! It’s also famous for the $15.00 admission that gets you all-you-can-eat freshly shucked oysters!
Schedule is as follows:
6:30PM – Doors Open
7:00PM – PEI Oyster Grading Championship
8:00PM – Opening Ceremonies
9:00PM – 2017 Canadian Oyster Shucking Championship
Entertainment by Gordie MacKeeman and his Rhythm Boys.
