It's not every day that you get to meet a Guinness World Record holder. I recently met up with Patrick McMurray, a Toronto restaurateur who currently holds the Guinness title for shucking the most oysters in a minute (38 to be precise).
He demonstrated his technique for me at Grand Central Oyster Bar in New York City's Grand Central Terminal. Though he wasn't in competition mode, McMurray still made it seem effortless.
Want to be able to shuck like an expert? McMurray has developed an ergonomic oyster knife (www.shuckerpaddy.com, C$30). I tested out the knife, and even I managed to pop open an oyster (OK, so I received lots of help).
