• I can’t tell you how many oysters I’ve eaten in my lifetime, especially after joining Fashion Ecstasy– A LOT!

But still, I don’t know that much about them. Oyster Boy at 872 Queen Street West features OMC: Oyster Master Class, also known as “Shuck U”! The motto of Oyster Boy is “Mollusks for the Masses,” which means you are learning from the best in this two-hour program held on weekend afternoons.

我無法算出一生中到底吃了多少生蠔，光是加入「時尚高潮」團隊後受邀的生蠔趴，就數不清了！但我對它們的認知卻稱不上「專業」。多倫多 872 Queen Street West 的Oyster Boy 生蠔餐廳推出OMC: Oyster Master Class （生蠔大師班），又稱「 Shuck U」！Oyster Boy餐廳的座右銘是「給大眾的軟體動物」，意味著參加者ㄓ可以從這周末下午僅僅兩小時的課程中學到最棒的知識。

• The class is a curated tasting of oysters from the East and West Coasts of

North America, which they receive fresh each and every day. The first thing I learned was that oysters can be “out of season.” The best season for eating oysters are in the colder months from September to April.

此計劃在品嚐從北美東岸到西岸精選出的生蠔，每一顆都是新鮮直送的。我在此課程中學到的第一件事就是生蠔也有「過季」的，最佳食用生蠔的季節是從九月到四月較冷的季節。(當然，晚上要「上戰場」的日子例外）

• Usually, many varieties are available to eat raw at Oyster Boy with classic accoutrements. I tasted large oysters called Cascumpec Bay, Acadie Royal and Malpeque from the East Coast. These were saltier than the Kusshi variety from the West Coast of B.C., which also has a deeper cup.

通常，在Oyster Boy現場即可購買到很多不同品種的生蠔加上經典配料。我嚐到從東岸撈來的「Cascumpec Bay」、「Acadie Royal」和「Malpeque」大生蠔。它們比British Columbia (BC省）西岸的Kusshi品種鹹，外殼也更深。

• The original Oyster Boy himself, Adam Colquhoun (owner), demonstrated how to shuck an oyster, and I was able to shuck 18 myself (although not very quickly). Oyster Boy is also a full-service restaurant that serves a variety of tasty seafood dishes: deep-fried oysters, crab cakes and lobster fries tasted great! The classic baked oysters in the half shell are a huge favourite; Rockefeller, Rustico and Bacon/ Balsamic. Oyster Boy sells wholesale oysters to restaurants but also retail, so anyone can stop by and pick up a bag to shuck at home.

「ＯＹＳＴＥＲ ＢＯＹ」（牡蠣男孩）本人Adam Colquhoun（Oyster Boy餐廳老闆）親自示範，教導來賓如何去殼撥開生蠔，而我自己成功開了18顆（雖然並不是很快）。Oyster Boy除了為前往用餐的客人提供「炸牡蠣」、「螃蟹餅」、「龍蝦薯條」等各種美味的海鮮菜餚，經典的「焗烤牡蠣」更是餐廳的招牌菜。焗烤牡蠣有經典的「洛克菲勒式」（Rockefeller）、「 Rustico」 和 「Bacon/ Balsamic」（培根/巴薩米可醋）。除了經營自家餐廳外，Oyster Boy也對其他餐廳及零售商提供生蠔批發與零售，所以任何人心血來潮「有需要」，都可以隨時停下來買一袋回家嗑或臨時「補一補」。

• Now that I know how to shuck, that’s exactly what I’ll do! Take the Oyster Master Class, OMC, at Oyster Boy one Saturday so you can do the same!

現在我知道如何去撥開生蠔了，我就先衝囉！時尚高潮邀請讀者們，一起選個星期六再參加Oyster Boy舉辦的OMC大師班，跟我們一樣嗑生蠔！
