Learn to Shuck with Islesboro Oyster Co.!

Join us on Saturday, August 2nd at 4:00 PM for one of our Learn-to-Shuck experiences on a beautiful beach right here on Islesboro.

📍 The exact beach location will be shared with ticket holders 24 hours before the event.

Whether you've never shucked an oyster before or just want to sharpen your skills, this fun, relaxed class will teach you everything you need to know. Along the way, we'll share stories about oyster farming, Maine aquaculture, commercial fishing, and what it's like to make a living on Maine's working waterfront.

After the shucking class, stick around for an optional lobster bake! Fresh lobsters will be cooked onsite by Blake Zlotkowski (F/V A-SALT-WEAPON) and Gaby Zlotkowski (F/V IDA MAE)—my children and commercial lobstermen right here on Islesboro.

🦪 One dozen of fresh Islesboro Oyster Company oysters
🔪 A shucking knife
🧤 Shucking gloves
🥤 Non-alcoholic beverages
🍋 Oyster accoutrements
🦞 All the tools you'll need to enjoy your lobster if you purchase the lobster add-on (crackers, picks, butter, plates, and shucking towels)

Optional Add-Ons

🦞 Lobster Bake — Fresh lobster with corn and all the fixings, cooked onsite after the class. $35/per person
