NEW YORK, April 17, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- This month, Oysters XO announced that they will begin offering virtual oyster shucking classes and the sale of fresh oysters on their website. While COVID-19 has limited the company's in-person services, these options will provide patrons with the opportunity to learn to shuck oysters and enjoy them in the safety and comfort of their homes.
Known for their distinctive Oyster Girls and Guys, Oysters XO typically offers oyster shucking at luxury events, as well as Oysters XO Academy classes. They will be featuring virtual versions of their academy classes featuring instruction led by two Oyster Girls, who teach participants how to shuck oysters and pair the delicacies with wine. By making these classes available online, attendees can experience the excitement of learning how to shuck their own oysters from the comfort of their own homes or apartments. Plus, oyster shucking is the best party trick for the summer, so attendees can learn it now to impress their guests.
With the public yearning to help local farms, restaurants and shops during this time, Oysters XO provides an avenue for doing just that not only by teaching America how to shuck oysters but also by selling oysters straight from the farms.
Oysters XO will also be selling a starter kit that makes for a perfect gifting opportunity for friends and family. It includes 36 local oysters, 2 Oyster Shucking Knives (to learn this new skill together with a friend!), one Dutch Towel, an Oyster Bag and a Virtual Oyster Class Tutorial for just $85. This is a special offer to support the oyster farms and to give America a new skill to start enjoying farm to doorstep healthy food.
"So many celebrations have been postponed due to this pandemic," said Rifko Meier, Founder and CEO of Oysters XO, "but we want to foster the concepts of socialization and the enjoyment of the finer things in life through these virtual offerings."
The Oysters XO oyster shuck class syllabus features an introduction, demonstration of process and skills by Oyster Girls and guided practice time. Classes include wine recommendations, so while even in a time of social-distancing, attendees can have their own VIP experience by sharing some recommended libations on a stay-at-home date night or birthday.
