Our own Chef Andrew Gruel of the Slapfish Restaurant Group was in New York last weekend as a Judge in the Oyster Shucking Championship as part of the first ever All Canadian Oyster Festival held at Manhattan’s Docks Oyster Bar & Seafood Grill. Grand Prize was a cool $1,000. We’ll slurp with Chef Andrew as he reports on the salty festivities with a Canadian accent.
The capacity crowd of 250 guests had the unusual opportunity to sniff, sip and slurp eighteen varieties of both West & East Coast Canadian Oysters. Guests enjoyed unlimited Canadian oysters, as well as three different Docks seafood chowders, mounds of shrimp, wine, beer and vodka.
