Exploring North Carolina's Hidden Oyster Farm on Blackbeard's Coast | PORTSIDE CATCH

Try the oysters we just harvested at https://portsidecatch.com We ship tide to table overnight directly to your door. It doesn't get fresher than that. In this episode, we spend the day with James Frey of Crystal Coast Oysters, following him from sunrise on the water through the daily work of running one of the fastest-growing oyster farms on the East Coast. From sorting cages and harvesting oysters to navigating tides, weather, and the realities of aquaculture, James shares what it takes to build a successful oyster business from the water up. This is more than a story about oysters. It's a story about freedom, craftsmanship, hard work, and building a life around the water. At Portside Catch, we're traveling across America (and eventually the world) in search of the best seafood, the most beautiful waters, and the people who dedicate their lives to growing, harvesting, and preserving it.
