JSIS-- Just Some Interesting Stuff from the Gulf.
From the Jan. 9th Mobile Press-Register.
OYSTER SHUCKIN'-- Alabama Oyster-Shucking Contest to be held at Wintzell's Oyster House at 605 Dauphin Street in downtown Mobile, this weekend, Jan.4th.. That would be the original Wintzell's.
Contestants must shuck two dozen oysters and will be judged on speed, quality and presentation with seconds added for mistakes.
The winner of last year's Seafood Show in Boston (where the idea came from) had a time of one minute, 36 seconds.
At any given day at Wintzell's restaurants statewide, between 15,000 and 25,000 oysters are shucked and served.
We were at this place and I strongly suggest a trip there if you're ever in Mobile. Great seafood, even if you're like me and love oysters, but can't eat them anymore after I got ahold of a bad one.
We've been over to Dusty's Oyster House here in Panama City Beach several times and sat at the bar where they do their oyster shuckin' and man are those guys fast. Somehow, they had gotten a copy of the Press-Register and were all fired up to go until I told them the contest was for Alabama residents only.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
