Oysters Grown HOW?! A day on the farm exploring De Mare Raw Bar & Charleston’s Seafood Scene!

Join me, Frankie Wiles- Charleston Realtor®, as I dive into the fascinating world of sustainable oyster farming in this behind-the-scenes. In this video, I team up with Joey De Mare, founder of De Mare Raw Bar, to uncover the incredible process of growing oysters sustainably in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina. You'll get an up-close look at how these environmentally beneficial shellfish are cultivated, from tiny seeds to the fresh delicacies served at your favorite seafood spots. Joey's passion for local seafood and sustainable practices shines throughout this journey.
Our day starts at Lowcountry Oyster Company, where we explore how oysters are meticulously grown to support both the environment and the local economy. These sustainable farming practices play a vital role in improving water quality and creating thriving ecosystems in the Lowcountry. Watching the process unfold reveals just how much care and expertise go into producing the oysters we all love. This behind-the-scenes look highlights the power of responsible aquaculture and its impact on preserving our coastal heritage.
After the farm visit, we head to an exciting restaurant pop-up event, where Joey brings his vision for De Mare Raw Bar to life. This special occasion marks Joey's first full restaurant takeover, showcasing his creativity and dedication to Charleston's vibrant food culture. The menu is designed to celebrate the freshest, locally sourced seafood, with a particular emphasis on boat-to-table oysters. This event not only highlights Joey's culinary talents but also his commitment to sharing the story behind each dish.
De Mare Raw Bar is more than just a pop-up concept-it’s a celebration of local seafood and the hard work of those who bring it to our plates. Joey’s approach connects diners directly to the source, offering a deeper appreciation for Charleston's seafood traditions. Whether he’s hosting an intimate raw bar experience or collaborating with local chefs, Joey’s dedication to sustainability and quality is at the heart of everything he does.
