Hi Joyce, I believe we spoke on the phone about this … the oyster season doesn’t open until October 1st this year so I’m not able to harvest the bushels you’re looking for yet. Please keep in touch and I look forward to bringing you as many bushels as you’d like during the season.
Thanks!

Jeff,
Myself and my friend Susan have been trying to get in touch with you. We were needing 4 bushels of oysters for Friday August 20, 2010. Needed to know if that was possible. Keep getting the run around from everyone else. I know the season officially starts in September, but we were trying to do something special for one of our service men before he gets shipped out again. Please let me know if this is possible or impossible. As soon as you can please.
Thanks,
Joyce

If you can maintain them at a temperature of 45 degrees or less, but not below freezing, then they should fit into the criteria set by SC DHEC for safe shellfish handling. I’ve seen people ice a bushel down in a 48 qt cooler with the drain plug pulled so that they don’t sit in the water…keeping fresh ice on them at all times, but I can’t guarantee that this will keep them cool enough. Please read the regulations as they’re written by SCDHEC at http://www.scdhec.gov/environment/water/reg.htm#61-47 before you attempt to hold oysters for 36 hours. If you have any questions you can SCDHEC directly or call me and I’ll give you their number. Thanks.

I am hosting an oyster roast tailgate in Jacksonville in the middle of October. I want to bring the oysters with me from Charleston and am leaving about 36 hours before we will be roasting them-and suggestions for transporting them safely

Hi Sam,
I estimate about 5 people per bushel, give or take. So, with 60 people, you could feed them all with 12 bushels; however, if you’re providing other food (frogmore stew, chili, burgers etc) or the crowd is not a bunch of heavy oyster eaters then you should downsize the order to something like 7 or 8 bushels. You can call me to place an order (843-568-6380) or order online from the homepage. Thanks!
