唐丽波的获奖作品 Alex Tang's Presentation

During the recent Agecotel trade fair held in Nice, Maison FLO ecailler Alex Tang took home the prize for excellence at the fifth Coupe du Monde des Écaillers (World Cup of Oyster Experts). In France, “Écaillers” are experts in oysters, specifically, shucking and serving them. Although not a profession you usually come across outside of France, is a highly regarded specialisation that suits such a luxurious and difficult to master ingredient.

As the first-ever Chinese ecailler to take part in the Coupe du Monde des Écaillers (not to mention, the only competitor who couldn’t speak any French), Alex decided to show off his Chinese heritage by using bamboo, fans, and traditional Chinese New Year decorations to create his presentation, impressing the judges.

甲壳类海鲜开壳世界杯比赛,来自18个国家的选手们,需要在3个小时内处理好各类海鲜,按照构思摆放在三层架上,并融入柠檬调味,完成整套海鲜塔的制作。

During the competition, the 18 participants were given three hours to shuck and prepare a variety of different shellfish and present them on a traditional three-tiered platter.

比赛创始人、世界开蚝冠军、开蚝吉尼斯世界纪录保持者Marcel LESOILLE先生,对来自这位福楼的中国选手唐丽波给予极高的评价,“尤其惊喜”,他激动地说,“从2014年我第一次到中国,Alex每年都会跟着我学习,对他今天的表现,我感到很欣慰”。

来自福楼法餐的开蚝师唐丽波(Alex Tang)就是他的学生。唐丽波在福楼工作多年,一次他在听过LESOILLE先生的讲座之后就对开生蚝产生了莫大的兴趣。福楼一直都将员工当做家人一般关心他们的成长。他谨记LESOILLE先生的指导,多年如一日的刻苦练习,逐渐熟悉了各种不同品种生蚝的细微区别,在远离法国的这片东方大陆上,练就了熟练的技术,直至取得了这场赛事特别奖的好成绩。而当他回到餐厅,Alex为福楼细心挑选纯正的高品质法式生蚝以及各式海鲜,成为了来福楼就餐的客人必点菜品。

Founder of the competition and Guinness World Record holder for oyster shucking Mr. Marcel LESOILLE was particularly impressed with Alex’s performance, commenting: “Alex has been working with me every year since I first visited China in 2014, so I am especially proud to see what he produced today.”

Mr. Lesoille considers Alex to be one of his students and it was through learning and working with Mr. Lesoille that Alex developed an interest in oysters. Under Mr. Lesoille’s guidance, Alex learned how to distinguish between different types of oysters and shuck them with skill and precision, all of which led to his strong performance in this competition. Since returning to Maison FLO, Alex has been putting his knowledge to good use, and oysters are now one of the most popular items on the menu.

正是看到了福楼和Alex的热忱,追求极致的LESOILLE先生,对中国生蚝市场以及中国开蚝者队伍的壮大,有着强烈的期待。“最初中国市场对生食生蚝还比较抗拒,而如今则有了很大不同,越来越多人开始接纳并喜欢生蚝,我觉得很开心。当你打开眼睛放下原有的城建,去探索一个新事物时,你会发现它真的很美。”

Seeing Alex’s success has made Mr. Lesoille even more confident in the growth of the oyster market in China and he has high expectations for the performance of oyster shuckers from China in future competitions. “In the beginning, the Chinese market was a little resistant to the idea of raw oysters, but it is very different now. I am happy to say that more and more people are putting aside their fears or preconceived notions and enjoying oysters."

Mr. LESOILLE & Alex

也正是中国餐饮行业不断进取开拓的韧劲,打动了 LESOILLE先生。他每年都会来到北京的福楼法餐,授课讲学、举办品尝活动,在未来,他将继续拓展中国的生蚝市场,并举办开生蚝比赛,吸引更多人参与其中。

Mr. LESOILLE has always been impressed with the tenacity and drive of the Chinese restaurant industry. Every year, he visits Maison FLO to teach workshops and hold tasting events and he hopes to help the oyster market in China continue to grow and create oyster shucking competitions that will attract ever-bigger audiences.
