WHY YOU SHOULD DO THIS
SPEND MUCH LESS & EAT MUCH BETTER. While we DO want to help our brothers and sisters in the Restaurant Business to survive COVID and we DO encourage consumers to eat out, we know that enjoying premium seafood in restaurants isnt something everyone can afford to do every night of the week. So, when you learn what these experiences teach you you can get access to much better product, prepare it right and present it beautifully for a fraction of what it costs to eat out. For example, if you ate a dozen ultra-premium oysters every week at your favorite raw bar and you compared that to what it would cost you to consume that same quantity of ultra-premium oysters at home the savings would range from $1,500 - $3,500 a year!!!
SUPPORTING FISHERMEN & FARMERS DIRECTLY. No-brainer here. Support those who produce our food and get better / fresher product.
ITS FUN & EDU-TAINING. What a great way to spend some time with friends and family.
CONSUME HEALTHIER, MORE SUSTAINABLE, MORE AFFORDABLE & MORE RESPONSIBLY PRODUCED SPECIES. The species we’ll focus on will cost you less and be better for you than what is often available from your local fish monger or restaurant. We’ll help you to “Make Ugly Fishes Delicious” too. And you’ll get more immunity and energy boosting nutrients from them as well.

A WORD ON OYSTERS - A NEAR PERFECT FOOD
Oysters are loaded with critical nutrients for maintaining our immune systems and many other bodily functions…nutrients that are difficult to get elsewhere. Their production requires no “watering” or “feeding” and oyster farming enhances bio-diversity, locally. Oysters are never genetically modified. There are no added flavors, fillers, preservatives or artificial ingredients in the. Oysters are simply the purest, most nutrient dense & cleanest protein there is.
As a protein they may actually be perfect, or perfectly suited for humans. An oyster’s protein and nutrients per ounce surpasses all other meats, including fin fish and crustaceans. In fact, oysters, clams and mussels played a key role in helping Homo Sapiens evolve from a primitive beings into one that could send men to the moon and back. Also, of the 7 known species of the Homo Genus, only Sapiens exploited shellfish as protein. Only Sapiens remain.
Learn more about that and Homo Sapien’s “Primal Connection” to oysters HERE. In the end it is hard to argue against this fact: Oysters & shellfish literally saved our species from extinction and helped us to flourish. Finally, learn how many doctors are now prescribing oysters for better physical and mental health HERE. So much more on this below!
