Fresh Local Oysters
Very few people have had the opportunity to taste oysters that have been out of the water for only hours, let alone minutes. Providing our guests with this rare and extraordinary experience is at the heart of our commitment to serving the freshest and most authentic Lowcountry seafood on Hilton Head Island. Our local oysters are a true delicacy, known for their extreme brininess due to the high salinity of our waters. This unique characteristic is a result of the lack of fresh water tributaries in our area, leading to a consistent salinity level that enhances the flavor of our oysters.
Our local oysters are at their best during the “R” months, starting after the first freeze, usually in November, and continuing through March. This period is when the oysters are plump, flavorful, and most abundant. The cooler temperatures and the absence of spawning contribute to the superior quality of the oysters harvested during these months. At Hudson’s, we take pride in offering these exceptional oysters to our guests, ensuring they experience the true taste of the Lowcountry.
The dedication to serving the freshest seafood extends beyond just oysters. Whether it’s fresh shrimp, local fish, or soft-shell crab, our mission is to shorten the supply chain and bring seafood to your plate in its freshest state. By sourcing our seafood locally and maintaining close relationships with local fishermen, shrimpers, and crabbers, we can deliver seafood that is unparalleled in freshness and flavor.
