BIG oyster news for BOTH Snapperz locations. 🦪🔥

This year, Snapperz Grill and Steam Bar™ is partnering with Morris Family Shellfish Farms out of Sea Level, NC to bring their locally raised North Carolina oysters to Emerald Isle and Morehead City.

And we’re not just tossing oysters on the menu and calling it a day.

We’re bringing back shuck-at-the-table service at BOTH locations, and in Emerald Isle, THE OYSTER BAR IS COMING BACK.

Morris Family Shellfish has deep roots right here on the Carolina coast, with generations of experience working the waters of Core and Pamlico Sounds. Their oysters are hand-raised in Sea Level and known for that clean, salty Carolina flavor we want on our tables.

We are seriously excited about this one.

We’ll announce the official oyster start dates for both restaurants soon, so keep watching.

LOCAL OYSTERS.
LOCAL PEOPLE.
SHUCKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.

Emerald Isle + Morehead City… oyster season at Snapperz is about to get a whole lot better. 🦪🍻

STAY TUNED.
