Shucker Paddy

I've spent over 30 years in hospitality and oyster shucking, holding a Guinness World Record for shucking 39 oysters per minute. I help event planners and restaurateurs create memorable moments by teaching them the craft, providing live shucking services, and building oyster experiences that guests actually talk about.

Most people think shucking is just a knife skill—but it's theatre, storytelling, and sustainability all at once. I approach each event differently because the oyster tells a story about the place it comes from, and when you understand that, guests feel the difference. That's what transforms a nice appetizer into an experience they'll remember.
