We are deeply saddened by the passing of Rodney Clark. He was fondly known as The King of Oysters to his fellow Torontonians. Rodney was the Canadian Oyster Shucking Champion in 1995, 1996, and 1998, earning national recognition for his incredible skill and dedication to the craft.

Rodney was a true legend in the oyster world. He was admired for his talent, professionalism, and his role in celebrating Island seafood on the national stage. His influence and contributions to Canadian oyster culture will be remembered for years to come.

His legacy continues through his son, Eamon Clark, the current Canadian Oyster Shucking Champion, who carries forward the family’s remarkable tradition.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Rodney’s family, friends, and all who knew The King of Oysters. His memory will live on through the community he helped build and the countless lives he touched.
