Who we are
Join Mahnaz and Rutvik of The Wandering Shuckers Co. on a coast-to-coast search for the perfect shuck—meeting incredible people, sourcing sustainable oysters, and uncovering hidden stories along the way.
What began as a NYC oyster catering service has grown into a nationwide mobile raw bar experience, shucking at iconic events like The Masters Golf Tournament, New Orleans Jazzfest, the Texas Oyster Festival, and the Maine Lobster Festival.
Rutvik is a nationally ranked oyster shucker, competing at championships across the country, and a proud member of Shuck Team USA—headed to Prince Edward Island, Canada, for the prestigious Raspberry Point World Oyster Shucking Competition in September 2025.
We bring more than just oysters to your celebration—we bring the craft of oyster shucking, the flavors of the best raw bar catering, and the stories of farmers, chefs, and communities who make it all possible. From intimate gatherings to grand weddings, our oyster bar catering transforms any occasion into an unforgettable, ocean-fresh experience.
Book our oyster shucking service today and let us bring the adventure to you.
