Oyster Knife

We believe that anyone who enjoys oysters should learn to open their own. Not because we mind doing it for you, but because they are genuinely better when you open them yourself.

A freshly shucked oyster, opened and eaten there and then, comes with all its beautiful natural liquor still sitting in the shell. We can pre-open oysters for you, of course, but however carefully we pack them, some of those precious juices will inevitably be lost on the journey home.

And shucking really isn’t difficult. It’s technique rather than skill, and once somebody has shown you how, you’ll soon get the hang of it.

These oyster knives were specially made for our friend Tim at Porthilly Shellfish in Cornwall. They’re simple, sturdy and designed to do exactly what an oyster knife needs to do.

If you're unsure of what to do #TeamFish will give you a quick masterclass at the counter. We’ll show you where to put the knife, how to find the hinge and how to open your oyster safely without losing all that lovely liquor.

Then take them home, open them when you’re ready to eat them and enjoy oysters exactly as they should be: freshly shucked, beautifully cold and in the moment.

Did you know… a good oyster knife doesn't need to be razor sharp. It's the short, strong blade, the right technique and a little controlled leverage that do the work.
