LUCY BEAS
AND THE START OF OUR SEAFOOD OPERATION
Inspired by our favorite saltwater-loving dogs, our Lucy Bea oysters honor some of the things we love most: two beloved pups, Lucy and Baby Bea; the Wilmington waterways; and supplying delicious locally-farmed oysters to our community. This venture began in June of 2022 with 120,000 oysters in our leases at Stump Sound and Topsail Sound. Since then, we’ve added hundreds of thousands more oysters with an eye toward expansion in the coming years.
LIONFISH
AND THE EXPANSION OF OUR SEAFOOD JOURNEY
In addition to starting the oyster farm, we have also obtained our commercial fishing and dealer’s licenses for Rx, meaning we are officially able to serve you fish that we catch and spear ourselves. We are predominantly going after underutilized species and specifically targeting lionfish: an invasive but delicious species that are destroying our reefs and decimating our local fish populations, like grouper and snapper.
