Lucky Shuck Oyster Bar & Taphouse will host the fifth annual South Florida’s Shucking Best Oyster Eating Contest on August 8. The competition will be held in celebration of National Oyster Day (August 5). Oyster lovers can show their appreciation all month long with $1 oysters on Wednesdays at Lucky Shuck.
Participants will have 90 seconds to eat as many oysters as possible.

The winner will receive a $150 cash prize and a $200 gift card to use at any of the three venues at Charlie & Joe’s at Love Street. There are also prizes for second and third place, including a $150 and a $100 gift card, respectively. The number to beat is 103 oysters in 90 seconds…
