Guinness World Record-holding oyster shucker Patrick McMurray stopped by to chat with SeafoodSource this morning about today's oyster-shucking competition.
McMurray, a Toronto restaurateur and purveyor of a new line of oyster-shucking knives and related products, will emcee the annual oyster-shucking competition today at Seafood Expo North America 2015. Contestants will be judged on their speed and the quality of the shucked oysters they produce.
Last year, Deborah Pratt became the first woman to win the event, and McMurray said she'll be returning to compete again this year. McMurray said he was looking forward to see whether Pratt would extend her lead at the competition this afternoon.
