Slash Creek Oyster Farm

Pamlico Sound has long been a shell-fishing playground for locals and visitors alike. Clamming and oystering on weekends with their water-loving spaniel, husband and wife team Spurgeon Stowe and Katherine McGlade wanted to bring the unique freshness and flavor of Hatteras Island oysters to the general public. The Sound, calmed by the land break of Hatteras Island and constantly refreshed with tidal seawater produces oysters that have a clean salty taste. Consistently recognized as “the best I’ve ever tasted,” Slash Creek Oyster Company’s plump and creamy are hearlded in North Carolina and beyond. Committed to restoring oyster farming as a vital industry in North Carolina, Slash Creek Oyster Company advocates for supporting small farmers who farm responsibly and sustainably.
