Juan, Roberto and Johnny do the shucking, with Teresa pitching in from time to time. Some oyster companies are investing in million dollar machines that know how to shuck oysters... we prefer to invest in local human know-how.
After being shucked, the oysters are rinsed in water fresh from an Olympic Mountain aquifer and then sorted and packed according to size. We sell four sizes of shucked oysters, with yearling oysters being the smallest.
Because they weigh less, shucked oysters are cheaper to ship than oysters in the shell. Since we shuck them ourselves they're always fresh. Refrigerated, they're good for two weeks, but they also freeze well.
