oyster shucker
Shellfish knife wielder
An oyster shucker is a person who opens oysters, or the short, thick-bladed knife used for the task.
The blade is inserted at the hinge to pry the shell apart and sever the muscle.
Professional shuckers at raw bars can open dozens per minute.
The oyster shucker worked through a bushel before lunch.
