Shell yeah 🦪 Shucked is back, celebrating the Lowcountry’s crown jewel — our oysters. From raw and steamed to fried and in a shooter, every bite tells the story of the salt marshes, local waters, and coastal traditions that make this place so special. We’re proud to have the South Carolina Department of Agriculture helping bring this oyster love to life, highlighting the incredible ingredients and producers that define our state. Along the Cooper River, with the help of our friends at @experiencemp, you’ll sip + shuck with sweeping waterfront views and a golden Lowcountry sunset. Thanks to @saveur, we’re able to celebrate the flavors + stories that put Charleston on the culinary map! Want in? Snag your tickets at CHSWF.org
