How to shuck an oyster by Duffy’s Irish Pub ( highly unrecommended but it might work) 

  1. Stick a sharp object into the butt “ish” of the oyster
  2. Probe around a little bit until you twiddle your way in
  3. Give it a twist until the Oyster submits to separate
  4. Scrape the top and bottom with the sharp object
  5. Flip the part of meat you want to eat without spilling any juice
  6. Add whatever sauce or juice you think you need ( Happy Oysters do not need sauce)
  7. Slurp it in without regard to table manners because you are at home or at Duffy’s
  8. Drink another Duffy’s Stout
