Did you know that Southern Maryland is the Oyster Shucking Capitol of the World? Every year people come from all over the world to attend the Oyster Festival and enter the National Oyster Shucking Championship, held right at the Leonardtown Fairgrounds. Sure, its a lot easier to buy a pint of oysters at the seafood market already shucked, but here's your chance to impress your friends with your knowledge of local traditions. Who knows - maybe you could be a champion shucker yourself!
