Oyster shucker Olivier le Breton
Oyster Men and Champagne Girls have become a familiar and welcome appearance at parties and events.
A hospitable oyster shucker who impressively outfitted with leather apron, steel glove, oysterknife and a bucket filled with deliciously fresh oysters – mixing among your guests, opening oysters on the spot. Cheerful, modest and proud for he loves his work, the real écaillier is not only a waiter that opens fresh oysters, but a professional who knows almost everything about oysters and, likes to share his knowledge when requested to do so.
Since 2001 he’s professional écailler or oyster shucker. As a child he learned to love the the sea and its bounty, during his holidays at his grandparents in Brittany, at low tide, he used to accompany his grandfather on days when oysters were to be harvested and oyster tables required maintenance. Between the temporarily dry rocks, seaweeds and beaches they also looked for and found many other shells and shellfish, which together with the flat and hollow oysters harvested provided a truly marvellous seafood banquet for supper.
