Our Oyster Stew is a rich, comforting Chesapeake Bay tradition - crafted with fresh, hand-shucked oysters pulled from the cold, salty waters of Gwynn’s Island. Each batch blends the natural brininess of our oysters with a silky, creamy broth, slow-simmered with butter, aromatic herbs, and a hint of cracked pepper.
Perfect for cool evenings, holiday gatherings, or whenever you crave something warm and coastal, this stew delivers deep oyster flavor with every spoonful. Serve it with crusty bread, oyster crackers, or a dash of hot sauce to make it your own.
