little shucker

“Little Shucker” is a term often used to affectionately refer to a young or inexperienced oyster shucker, someone who opens and prepares oysters for consumption. It implies that the person is still learning the skill and may not be as proficient as an experienced shucker. Oyster shucking involves carefully opening the oyster shell to access the edible meat inside, and it requires practice and skill to do so efficiently and safely. As such, a “Little Shucker” is typically someone who is just starting to master this culinary art.
