Enter The Championship Competition

In 1967, competitors shucked 12 oysters

Today, contestants face 24 oysters in our battle of the bi-valves

Open to all US citizens over 18, America’s fastest oyster openers gather annually at the US Oyster Festival to compete for the title of US National Shucking Champion, and the opportunity to represent the United States in the International Championship in Ireland.

No sloppy shuckers here

competitors are judged on both speed and presentation
