Shucking Competition
Halifax Oyster Festival is home to the Nova Scotia Oyster Shucking Championship. This year the festival will rename the trophy to the John Bil Memorial Trophy in honour of John Bil, "icon in Canadian seafood" according to restauranteur David McMillan. Bil was a host and judge in the first year's of the Halifax Oyster Festival and was very generous with his time and wisdom. The Friday and Saturday afternoon sessions open to amateur shuckers. Saturday night is PRO TIME. Compete for bragging rights and cash. JF Daigle from Maison BeauSoleil is the 2017 champion.
