Oyster House 1st Annual Shucking Competition

A fiver gets you in to this shuck-off, where amateurs and pros alike see how many bi-valves they can open; two judges grade for quantity and quality with pros competing for $200 and non-pros going for a $100 Oyster House gift cert. There will be a pay-as-you-pound firkin of Dock Street West of Center Pale Ale, and the entry fee clears you to eat all the competition by-products you can handle, proving shucking-off in public has its rewards. But you already knew that.
