Community & Sustainability

Our dedication to the environment and community has many facets. We strive to ensure the highest standard of environmentally safe, sustainably sourced seafood from both local and international waters, respecting seasonality and the natural essence of the sea. Additionally, we have created programming such as our Oyster Give Back and Oysterfest as a means of raising funds to support a variety of local causes.
