⁉️You can buy & eat oysters all year long⁉️

You can at Belhaven Oyster Company!

This week on The Salty Pine Podcast, I sat down with Nathan Van Nortwick of Belhaven Oyster Company, and we talked all things oysters and aquaculture.

A lot of folks don’t realize that you can actually buy and enjoy fresh oysters all year long if they’re grown and handled the right way. Nathan has truly dialed in the process and has it down to a science, producing high-quality oysters that are available year-round.

It was a great conversation about the challenges, the growth, and what it takes to build something unique right here in Eastern North Carolina.
