THE WANDERING SHUCKERS CO.

Reviving the art of oyster shucking – sustainably sourced and served with a story

Who we are

Join Mahnaz and Rutvik on a journey across the country in search of the perfect shuck, meeting incredible people and uncovering hidden stories along the way. What started in the heart of New York City has evolved into an adventure to explore America through oysters—traveling from coast to coast, shucking at events, and forging connections with farmers, chefs, and communities who bring these treasures to life.

At The Wandering Shuckers Co., we don’t just bring oysters to your event—we bring the energy of discovery, the stories of the people we’ve met, and the passion for sharing the best of the ocean. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, we transform any occasion into an unforgettable raw bar experience. Let us bring the adventure to your event—shucking oysters, sharing stories, and turning every gathering into something unforgettable.

Connect now and be part of the journey.
