Oyster 101 with Rickey Lee, the World's Fastest Shucker 

Being from New Orleans , I shucked a half a sack (Westwego Seafood Market). I started yesterday (Saturday) and finished the last 30 oysters today (Sunday) . Let me say that I have all the respect in the world for these guys . It was rough, but I got through it. Salute to him.

What a informative, wholesome video! Made me smile throughout and I appreciate the lil magic trick that Rickey explains

The wiggle. The wiggle is everything. I just got out of bed and did three. Wow totally different from earlier when I shucked 12. Magic Man you’re Magic.

They need to rinse the oysters before shuchkin. You can see the mud is a bit nasty

For me it's just applying the right amount of pressure at the right angle while wiggling, also pushing down w my body weight not my muscle, sometime a little bit of muscle if it's tough

Lol, she wants to shuck him

Had my first sea-food boil with my friends who do it all the time. They had massive oysters there and I wanted to try them, I watched my friends struggle to open them and asked if I could try. Turns out I am a natural oyster shucker!!! After 2 of my massive friends failed to open an oyster, I walked over and opened it within 3 seconds. No one could believe it so they got another one out and I shucked it in 10 seconds. I ended up shucking 5 oysters very quickly and they were all in aw.

ive watched this video so many times. one day ill make it to new orleans

That’s one fast mother shucker 😂

My Cousin Boozy AKA #RickyLee we are New Orleans ⚜️😁💯

This is so fun to see all these so call exports... Worlds fastest shucker... or worlds fastest make it ready on the half shell shucker... In a 6 hour day my brother and I both open 9 to 11 gallons of oysters, run them over a sorting table of ice cold water where they are sized and put in jars or #10 cans for wholesale market and restaurants.

👋🏾Godspeed Ricky♡ I had band aids on 4 fingers lol 🤣

Great Job #RickyLee....

Awesome!

Man that looked nice, made me hungry, off to get me some oysters now.

i work at Moanna Pacific we have an opening room with pneumatic guns these guys can do 60+ trays hour and three quarters 3 dozen a tray thats 1800 oysters a run 4 runs although much respect to this guy knife opening is obsolete pnuematic guns are easier on the hands especially now we have triploids and open all year round.

I see lots of haters.

Come to maison premiere in Brooklyn you’ll find the real fast oyster shucker

Harry up !! amigo !!!!!🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 tengo hambre 🤤 .

My nigga boutta shuck some oysters later 😂

I've shucked a lot oysters at my restaurant and I'm definitely faster than what I saw on this video. It takes 5 seconds an oyster. I usually do a dozen in one minute. I've also been to oyster houses where the shuckers are faster than me. I'm by no means the fastest. One thing I liked about the way he shucked the oyster was his method of cleaning the oyster by trimming the outer ridge of the oyster.

Go Ricky

I’d get in there:)

I would like to know what make/model is the knife? seems like a good model, long and thin blade.... can you tell please ?

What a shucker

NOLA 💪. Love that town!

Does Rickey Lee still work here

I feeel like he's fast, but by moving them around so much hes dumping all the natural "liquor" out.

I can shuck a dozen New Orleans oysters in 3 minutes and 30 seconds flat. What y'all got on that?

he's never been to the actual World's Oyster Opening Championships in Galway, Ireland so his claim to be the world's fastest shucker is bullshit

Shouldn't be any shell

@3:34...sistas don't get all worked up...the man is not "Ghost-ing" her. I know he wants to

I have always shuck a oyster from the side it the way my dad showed me it work better for me got my cuz and friend and we do a lot of oyster party none of my cuz open the oyster from side no rag wear your glove that it

how is this oyster "101"? there's way more to oyster than just "shucking"

Dirty oysters

Turns it sideways and all that delicious liquid falls out, not good!!!! I've been to New Orleans and several oyster bars, love oysters but I also like the oyster liquid!!!!!

Born and raised in New Orleans over the years we knew who was fast at certain restaurants. And ricky is a donkey ! A lot of haters in the comments have no clue. As usual, for RU-vid though no surprise. Shit talkers - Comical brah for real........

I know I can shuck oysters faster than him and it doesn't take

Ive been an oyster guy my whole life and I gotta tell you he may be fast but hes doing it wrong. You want the oyster liquor still in the shell. Thats part of the whole taste....

What did Rickey Lee do with her oyster after the interview.... he shucked it.

The way the oyster master dumps the juice out I figure the liqueur is no good.

Young jeezy the oyster shucker lol

I love his accent

I can say if there was a Maori or Polynesian from NZ we be waiting for him to open the next oyster up 😂🙌🏽 But damm he got skills 🔥

I work with big Rick for years on that same oyster bar

Amateur shucker here. Some weekends I'll pick up 24 and it's a lot of work. I usually slow play it throughout a Sunday. But the most I'll do in a row is like 6.

You should try the East Hampton Shucking tool, it's the safest and easiest way to open oysters. You dont hold down the oyster down with your hand. It keeps your hand away from the knife. You won't get hurt.

I just came back to the same company after Two years I really want to be the best I want to be so far ahead In quality style and production Not because I want to be a laborer for Years But I want to see where this can take Me P.s. never ate one

his oysters dirty. Wash it first.

Tyrone from ownage pranks?

its a dull knife, if it was sharp most of the peoples hand would look like a stainer

Serving them upside down is like sacrilege.

I CAN EAT FASTER THEN ANYONE CAN SHUCK. I EAT 300 IN A SEATING

could tell she hates it, no lemon tabasco or anything?

Can someone tell me what would be a good shucker.

That's not the best way to open them sorry champ

He definitely wants your oyster

I luuurve them ershters

I wanted to see the speed test.

Arsters

1:11 pause!!!! 😂

Takes to long

1:02 pause

I could watch this one eat oysters all day long, uh oh, "what am I watchin honey, just another chainsaw video. got the volume down cause I know it bothers you"

they look so so good

And they don’t show him shucking??? DUMB

The knife is not sharp at all. Pointed yes, sharp no....

I can come close to beating him I bet , I’m pretty fast.

Who holds the oyster in the air while there shucking

never eat a dirty oyster which is usually a gulf of mexico oyster. fresh water and very cold is the best, clean, cold water beds is best

What knife do you use ?

Suprise im faster than him😂😂😂

We call it OPENING here in Australia.. NOT shucking.

There’s several oyster openers for different oysters. There should never be sand or shell period. Last chew the meaty part (muscle that holds the oysters together)and you will have a better taste of the oyster and the brime unless it’s a pasteurized oyster then your just having a plumped up tasteless oyster.

wearing a hair net etc would be more up to health code dude
