Using a blacklight to look for semen traces, a top CSI type detective finds more than he bargained for.

Aug 2007 - A short vid of David Leck of Elliot Bay Oyster house on the Seattle waterfront doing his thing. Mmm, how I wish I had some right now!.

If all he were doing was simple shucking, he'd actually be faster than this; but this is a vid of him preparing oysters bar-side for consumption, so the freeing of the meat and presentation matters.

In the background, you can hear another woman who has just arrived to meet her sister. The woman is trying to make sure that her sister has ordered enough oysters before the "cutoff" time - after which the price goes up progressively as the afternoon wears on. Truly, during happy hour, at about $.50 / oyster, the deal can't be beat! *salivates*

Feb 26 2008 Edit:

Don't know when it was shot but after this vid, another vid has since been added (click on "Grand Central "Professional" Oyster Shucking Championship" vid in my favorites, see competition start at 5:37 and Mr. Leck specifically at 7:47) of the Oyster expo/competition at Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station, NY, at which Mr. Leck has been a part of at least twice. Though he didn't win in this one, I still maintain that the PNW (Pacific NorthWest), particularly Seattle, has the BEST oysters around, and that you'll never find a better, more friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable shucker - particularly at barside (i.e. sitting by him while he works), than David. I hope to get more of their oysters soon! (When last I was there - Jan/Feb '08, Elliot's Oyster House was closed for renovations. Dang! :( )
