Many held the traditional pastry trdelník in their hands while others savoured the unhealthy but irresistible sausages grilled in the open air. But on that particular day a most unusual smell wafted on the air – the smell of the sea. Over a thousand oysters fresh from the seacoast of Bretagne were delivered to Old Town Square shortly after midday for the 10th annual Oyster Opening Competition and chefs from some of the best Czech restaurants sharpened their blades and taped over their fingers preparing to do battle in a contest that would get one of them an all-expenses-paid trip to Ireland’s Galway to take part in the World Oyster Opening Championship in September. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/otevirani_ustric.jpg?timestamp=1591248052 https://english.radio.cz/10th-annual-oyster-opening-competition-prague-8564206 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
