East Hampton Shucker Company CEO John Nicholas

How did you get into this line of work?

Since I was a child I struggled to open oysters, I tried every method, medieval gloves & towel techniques. It was still difficult and dangerous process. Why does your hand have be so close to the knife? I thought there has to be a better way to enjoy delicious oysters at home. This was my inspiration to invent the East Hampton Shucker, the fastest, safest, and easiest way to open oysters.

Where do you draw your inspiration from?

I tried every way to open oysters; I want to make it easier and safer to shuck oysters at home.

What new food trends are you seeing?

Oysters are everywhere!

What do you plan to serve at the event?

Delicious East End oysters.
