Oyster Shucker
Oyster shuckers worked in harsh conditions, deftly opening shells in seafood markets or docks while dealing with the cold, damp environment. Precision and speed were essential for meeting demand and avoiding injury.
Though often overlooked, oyster shuckers were vital in feeding urban populations. Over time, automation and changing consumer preferences reduced the need for manual shucking, shifting the profession into history.
