Oysterbar at fairs
Our oysterbar at fairs is a very international business, and we can be found all over the world. We are particularly sought after at international high end art fairs, where our team of expert Oystertainers (or oystershuckers) mingle with the exquisitely dressed guests, and provide salty, savory, delectable oysters on demand to anyone. Watching the gleam of an oyster knife open a clamped shut oyster with ease and style is a work of art in its own right! Served with a Blanc de Blanc Champagne or a chilled white wine, it’s a moment of relaxing and enjoyment. Fully re-energized and you can continue to discover all the beautiful art.

How does it work?
At art fairs, our team of professional Oystertainers run a pop-up oyster bar, where we demonstrate the great taste combinations of the best raw oysters on the half shell with the finest wines and champagnes.
Our goal is to make a visit to the oyster bar a unique experience, with the combination of great oysters on the half shell, our skills, and our well-known flair and enthusiasm.
If your company is going to be at a show or a fair, we can build a pop-up oyster bar at your booth, or, when there is no room, our professional oystershuckers Oystertain your customers by walking around your booth, entertaining them and opening fresh oysters on the spot.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The number oysters you should get for your party depends on 3 factors: the Oystertaining time you’d like, the number of guests, and the location. On average we take into account 3 oysters per person. The minimum oyster order is 100 oysters, and our experts will work with you to make sure that you have all the oysters and Oystertainers (oystershuckers) you need to make your event a huge success.
Our Oystertainers open oysters on the spot as they move around the room, so there is no need to provide a table! They will bring the oysters in a cooler, and a custom Red Oyster backpack with all their equipment. All you need to provide is a small space to store the cooler and the backpack, and a garbage can for the empty shells. We’ll do the rest!
We prefer to serve up North East Coast and West Coast oysters in the USA. Most of our customers like the fresh oysters from ME, MA, CT, or PEI Canada. We are proud to have built up lasting, trusting relationships with our dedicated oyster farmers. After all, they are our partners in bringing you the best bivalves, and we work together to make sure that we provide you with the most delicious ones every time. Most of our oyster farmers have family-owned businesses that have been farming oysters for generations.
