World’s his oyster
The 28-year-old — the seventh generation of a family that has been running Moran’s Oyster Cottage in Galway for 250 years — has six Irish titles, three European and one world title for oyster-opening.
“This weekend, I’ll be opening 30 oysters. Presentation and speed are important. You get penalties if there’s grit in the oyster or slicing on the meat. My best time, so far, was two minutes and eight seconds — I’ve set myself the goal of breaking the two-minute barrier.”
