5 Facts About Oysters You May Not Know

We are all about our oysters at Tuckers Shuckers. We pride ourselves on having the freshest oysters at the Lake of the Ozarks. We already know that oysters taste amazing, but here are 5 more interesting things about them that you may not know.

1. Every oyster has the ability to be male or female.
While they can only be one or the other at any given time, oysters have the ability to change their sexes. They have gonads that make eggs as well as sperm! At least once during their lifetime, an oyster will change from male to female, and vice-versa.

2. They are very fertile.
A female oyster can release over a million eggs in a spawning season.

3. Oysters breath like fish.
Oysters have both gills and mantle to breathe through. They also have a small, 3-chambered heart that pumps colorless blood.

4. Oysters "are what they eat."
The color of an oyster is decided by its diet. The meat is generally light beige, light gray, or off-white. Their diet usually consists of plankton, animal waste, and decayed plants, along with any small particles that they suck in.

5. You should only eat oysters in months with an "R"...
...IS NO LONGER TRUE!! The reason for this was because a long time ago, when refrigeration methods were not good like they are today, it was difficult to keep oysters in the Summer months.

Tuckers Shuckers has 2 "R"s in it's name, so oysters must be twice as good here! Seriously though, we really do our very best to make sure that each and every item out of our kitchen is at the highest possible quality. The delicious food items on our menu are sure to satisfy even the toughest critic. Give us a try, and make sure that while you are here, you try the best oysters on the Bagnell Dam Strip.

Get out on the Lake

Father's Day is also the first day of Summer this year, and there's no better Summer activity if you are at the Lake of the Ozarks than getting out on the water. You and Dad can head out early and get in some fishing. Hop on the boat or jet skis and cruise around the lake. There are lots of places to rent if you don't own one. Is your pop a little bit adventurous? Parasailing is an awesome experience, and you can go up as a group.

Go-Kart Racing

Is your Dad a car lover? Well, if buying him a new one isn't quite in your budget, how about heading over to the go-kart track! It's fast, it's fun, and a little healthy competition is good for everyone.

Hike a Trail

The Lake of the Ozarks has got all kinds of trails to hike. Grab your water bottles & bug spray, pack some trail mix, and get moving. Staying active keeps Dad feeling young.

Get Sporty

Head over to the golf course and play 18 holes. It is Father's Day, so make sure you carry Dad's clubs for him. If you have a large enough family or a group of sporty friends, put together a softball game. Go to a local park with a basketball hoop and play a little one-on-one. If you and your father don't feel like getting that active, there's always ESPN to watch together.

Concert in the Park

The Osage Beach City Park is hosting it's 1st Annual Welcome To Summer Event the day before Father's Day this year. It includes a free concert by the Travis Gibson Band, fireworks, concessions, and family friendly comedian Michael Joiner. Click here for an event flier.

Catch a Movie

If Dad is a movie buff, head over to the theater and catch a movie together. Let him choose the movie though. No chick flicks today!

Video Games

Are you into Playstation or Xbox? Hold a gaming tournament with your father. If he doesn't regularly play with you, take the time to teach it to him. You could end up with a new hobby to share. Another option is to go old school and find an arcade. If it has a Pac-Man machine, you're gonna have a blast!

Hear JC the New King of Funk Every Sunday

Tuckers Shuckers on the Bagnell Dam Strip is gaining a reputation for having the best oysters at the Lake of the Ozarks, but we expect to be known for having the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks too. We feature some of the area's most talented entertainers every weekend and for our open mic night each Tuesday, and this summer we are proud to have JC the New King of Funk every Sunday evening from 6-10 beginning May 31 through August 30.

JC plays raw funk music with his very own unique sound and style. His show is full of high energy, featuring his own music along with some of the finest Funk, Soul, and R&B covers. You can expect to hear music from the 70's to 90's by artists like Cameo, Prince, Earth Wind & Fire, Rick James, Kool & the Gang, and many more.

Known more widely as JC, Jewel Carter grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. His parents were both talented singers, leaving no question as to where his love of music began. Most often you will find JC singing lead vocals and playing his bass guitar, but he is also proficient as a keyboardist, writer, arranger, composer, and producer. Over the past fifteen years, he has toured and performed with The Gap Band, Roger Troutman, Teena Marie, Bootsy Collins, Gladys Knight, Charlie Wilson, Freddie Jackson, and Tech9, just to name a few.

JC is now touring while he works on his next album. You can hear a sample of his latest album, "Have U Forever" on his website, as well as seeing a full list of his upcoming shows. He is a very talented, very busy man playing lots of venues, but you know you can catch him each and every Sunday this Summer at Tuckers Shuckers. Order off of our delicious menu, grab a drink from our full bar with 28 taps, and enjoy the musical stylings of JC the New King of Funk. It's the perfect way to end your weekend on a high note and head into your Monday with a smile on your face.
