The master of molluscs!

Are you the master of molluscs? Can you open 30 native oysters as quickly as the current British champion? Well start practising because it’s time for Tabasco to call for Britain’s best oyster openers to come together and compete for the British oyster opening title. The aim of the championship is to find the fastest oyster opener or ‘shucker’ in Britain. Entries will be judged by a panel of seafood experts and chefs, according to the Galway International Festival rules. The winner claims the title of ‘Tabasco British Oyster Opener of the Year’, a trophy, a £250 cheque and a trip to Galway to represent Britain in the International Championship. Applications are now open, contact Tess Robinson at Food Matters on 020 7371 6466, Email: tess@foodmatters.co.uk for further information.
