Even looking at oysters makes me feel a little sick, so no, I do not know how to shuck oysters!

Nope; I've never had to do it. I don't eat oysters.

I'm a newbie, but I have video of me (in "exhibitionist" garb, at an art night themed "Expose Yourself") learning how to shuck oysters. And I didn't draw a drop of blood--though I'm probably lucky I didn't run my whole hand through.

Yes, but I hate shucking them. Does that still count? I don't want to work for them — I just want to eat 'em!

Oysters are great but never needed to shuck them myself.

Nope but I'll never need to... Also, that pic just made me throw up in my mouth a little.

I shuck oysters like its my job, well, because it is actually my job. I work in a classy seafood restaurant... and when customers order 1 dozen raw oysters... it is the most time-consuming task even though I'm quite quick at it nowadays. It's pretty dangerous too, lancing yourself with the shucker is quite common, so we bought this medieval looking glove to wear while shucking to prevent injuries.
