NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Watching a couple of world-class New Orleans oyster shuckers like Gus Marshall and Kentrell Simms, you know this really is a spectator sport.
On Bourbon Street.
At Desire Oyster Bar on Bourbon Street, inside The Royal Sonesta New Orleans, Marshall has been going at it for close to half a century of first-class shucking.
And not just shucking — shucking and winning. Marshall is a three-time New Orleans Oyster Shucking Champion.
Kentrell is the crown prince — the only job he’s ever had. It’s life on the Louisiana half-shell with New Orleans royalty.
