It's
that time of year again when Tabasco call for Britain's best oyster
openers to put their name forward for this year's championship. The
Tabasco British Oyster Opening Championship traditionally marks the
start of the native oyster season and this year will be held on
Monday 1st September at Bentley's Oyster Bar and Grill, Swallow
Street, London W1B 4DG.
The aim of
the championship is to find the fastest oyster opener or 'shucker' in
Britain. The winner claims not only the title 'Tabasco British Oyster
Opener of the Year', but also a trophy, a £250 cheque and a trip
to Galway to represent Britain in the International Championship.
Contestants
are required to open and display 30 native oysters as quickly as
possible. Entries will be judged according to the Galway
International Festival rules by a panel of seafood experts and chefs.
Applications
are now open, so anyone interested in entering should contact Tess
Robinson at Food Matters on 020 7371 6466, Email: tess@foodmatters.co.uk
for further information as soon as possible.
