Shucking an oyster is something we usually leave to our significant other to do (Sharp knife combined with a supertight oyster shell opening? BAD idea for someone with sausage fingers). But after watching this video we're convinced it's easier than we think.

Tidbit about oysters: Asides from being outright delicious, oysters are amongst the healthiest things you can eat, both for yourself, and for the environment.

Double win!
