Shuck for the Ocean

The ocean covers more than 70 percent of our planet, so this Earth Month you are invited to celebrate the incredible ecosystem that sustains us all.

Join us for a lively night bringing together the Vancouver oyster shucking community in partnership with Fanny Bay Oyster Bar and Vancouver Island Brewing.

Shuck for the Ocean is a celebration of great food, great drinks and the people who make B.C.’s seafood scene so special. You will enjoy fresh, sustainably grown oysters while watching local shuckers go head to head in a fast paced, high energy competition. Along the way, you will learn more about the ocean and sustainable seafood from local conservation experts.

A portion of every ticket supports Ocean Wise and our work to protect and restore the ocean from plastic pollution, overfishing and climate change.
