Join us for a very special oyster masterclass in our Ngara event space!
You'll learn how to shuck an oyster. An essential life skill in our opinion!
  • Learn how to pick a fresh oyster
  • Understand how you can identify salinity levels in oysters and the environment they come from, just by looking at them
  • Discover how to eat an oyster and enjoy it properly
  • Master the art of oyster shucking
We've enlisted our very own oyster expert, Seafood Educator Michael Huls, to guide you for this session.
Mike heads the visitor experience and tour programs at Sydney Fish Market, leading a team of seafood educators to bring the program to life. Mike is passionate about inspiring seafood consumers through education and storytelling. A former commercial fisherman in Australia, the United States and South America, he brings extensive species knowledge and practical insight to Sydney Fish Market and the broader seafood industry. Mike is also a Royal Agricultural Society oyster judge.
