PDX Oyster Week: Shuck Yeah!

Ethan Powell and Tobias Hogan are Portland's oyster experts - they're who the top restaurants in Portland buy their oysters from and nobody in this city knows more about these briny bivalves than these two guys. They want to teach you how to shuck oysters and nobody will teach you more about how to bring oysters into your home like they will. With this class, you will sip bubbles while chatting about oysters and learning how to shuck. You'll take home your own shucker so you can practice shucking in your kitchen and impress your friends + family with your skills and newfound oyster knowledge.
