The Professional Touch: Why Seafood Catering Requires Experience
Planning to host an upcoming party? As event catering experts, we understand you want to treat your guests to the best and leave an everlasting impression. Whether it is a wedding, birthday, anniversary or formal work gathering, oysters are always a hit.
Imagine having an oyster bar with a live oyster shucker! A unique and one-of-a-kind experience and that is why we recommend always hiring a trusted event catering expert. Why? Here are our top reasons:
Expert & Licensed Oyster Catering
Did you know that not just anyone can commercially shuck oysters? There are strict guidelines and licencing requirements outlined by the Department of Primary Industries regarding oyster processing (or shucking).
When we cater an event, supply oysters to local restaurants, or shuck oysters for our retail store, we are always following strict processes with regard to storing, handling, shucking and transporting live bivalve molluscs.
Hiring a caterer that specialises in seafood and oysters gives you the peace of mind to enjoy your day to the fullest. Moreover, we will always ensure the seafood at your event is impeccably prepared, risk-free and delicious.
Food Safety and Handling Experience
Have you ever thought about why preparing and handling oysters requires so much expertise? Well, a mobile oyster bar does require hands-on experience. Also, professional event caterers have to be skilled at maintaining food safety standards and handling processes. The last thing you want is for your guests to get sick.
Whether you are hosting cocktail hour or casual dining, caterers with seafood experience and knowledge will be an asset to your event.
Quality & Freshness of Seafood
It's your party, and you want to impress your guests with high-quality, fresh seafood. Professional event catering experts who work with seafood will help you select the right menu based on the event theme, seasonality of produce, your preferences, and budget requirements.
Shuck Yeah has always nurtured and strengthened relationships with local oyster growers and that’s why the oysters we source, and process will always be fresh and full of flavour. We work routinely with second and third-generation oyster farming families from Port Stephens, Manning River and Forster. We also have strong connections with the Sydney Fish Market, and can source sashimi grade fish, crustaceans, caviar and more for you and your guests.
Experience & Expertise in Oyster Shucking
Our oyster shuckers are some of the most experience in Australia. Did you know that one of our team members, Brett Dawson, has won the World Oyster Shucking Competition, not once, but twice!?
Oyster shucking is a skill that requires years of experience, and it’s what we specialise in. Whether you opt for live oyster shucking at your event, or oysters supplied by us pre-shucked, we guarantee beautifully shucked and presented oysters every time.
