Add a little hot sauce and it’s dang good for something from a can, of course not as good as my ‘from scratch’ when I used to make it. But then again every man thinks his Chili is the best; a guy thing for sure.

If all else fails with the oysters.... Cheat LOL?
Take a pair of pliers and ever so gently break a bit off the top/front so you can push the knife in thru that

AHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best piker oyster knife is a pre-poptop, old fashioned triangular hole beer can opener, and possibly a flat head screw driver, but my favorite weapon is an East Coast Oyster knife. Not a fan of West Coast knives as they are sharp, and can cut. See East Coast knife below.

See that bent tip? You lay the oyster flat with it's "cup side" down, and flat side up. You take the knife tip up, or the beer can opener tip up, and insert the tip into the hinge at the back of the oyster. While pushing the tip of the knife into the back of the oyster, you push down on the knife to pop the hinge open. Once that's done, slide the knife around to cut the single muscle in the middle of the beastie, toward the front.

Other nice things to have are a special oyster shucking glove (Kevlar) so those sharp shells don't cut up your hand and/or a oyster holder to lodge them in while opening. That's a great item, but doesn't work on the Mongo Pemaquid Perfectos I just shucked for tonight's first course of Oysters PhD. These things were ginormous, 9 of them filled a 12 x 18 baking pan!!

The clams were my lunch snack.

Here's a video on how to use a screwdriver, and it shows you the anatomy of the hinge, which is critical...

try this - I haven't tried it yet so I can't comment on it - I steam my oysters in white wine, cilantro, lemon & garlic

Fill a large bowl with cold water and salt liberally, then add the oysters and soak for 10 minutes. ... This will liven them up and loosen the shells — making them easier to pop open

Simple Tip: Soak Oysters in Cold Water Before Shucking

One way to affordably enjoy farm-raised oysters is to purchase them at the grocery store and eat them at home. The only problem is, you have to shuck the

That pre cooks them though, no?

OK 10 minutes on you tube and I think I'm in a much better place to open the oysters for tonight's meal...

slightly - their not raw but very very tasty - steam 'em until the shells begin to open (maybe 10 minutes?) - serve with crusty bread for dipping in the juice/sauce

Do the same thing with clams only I substitute Sierra Nevada IPA for the wine. Here that is:

Last fall met a guy at the ramp who had been diving for oysters & he gave me about a dozen said they were too big & the buyer wouldn’t take them. I put them on the grill & they opened like a clam. John
