DESCRIZIONE
An apparatus (270) for shucking oysters includes a shucking head (272) adapted to be mounted on a mounting assembly. The shucking head includes means for supporting the oyster in a position so that a lower shell of the oyster is supported on a pair of arms (282, 284) of support members (274, 276). The shucking head also includes means for wedging the oyster in a position so that an end of the oyster is wedged against a selected wedging member (278, 280). The arrangement of support members and wedging members is such that the oyster is held in a stable position to allow a person to use a knife to shuck the oyster with one hand. [Image Omitted]
