Anyone can open an oyster, but to Oystertain, you need the right oyster, the best Oystershucker, skill, craftsmanship, energy, enthusiasm, and flair. Every professional oystershucker of our team is passionate about oysters, passionate about people, and passionate about bringing them together.

Our Oystertainers will rove through your event on foot providing freshly shucked oysters to anyone who requires it.

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.
