    Tips

    May 8, 2025

    Early Industry: Oyster harvesting and shucking have been part of BC's coastal history since the late 19th century, initially focusing on the native Olympia oyster.
    Pacific Oyster Introduction: The introduction of the larger Pacific oyster in the early 20th century spurred the growth of the industry, leading to the establishment of dedicated shucking plants.
    Delta Example: One early significant plant was the BC Packers Limited shucking plant in Delta, operating from 1941 until its closure due to pollution in 1963. This plant processed both local and oysters from other BC farms.
    Hand Shucking: Traditionally, oyster shucking in BC was done entirely by hand, a labor-intensive process under strict sanitary regulations.
