The Glorious Oyster

The ethos of The Egg Award is very much about sustainability so when food blogger @justlovefood drew our attention to a crowdfunding project involving sustainability, shopping locally and not just for profit by The Glorious Oyster mobile seafood bar we just had to take a look.

The Glorious Oyster has been operating as a mobile oyster and seafood bar traveling the country to food festivals and events for the past 18 months.  They champion and promote local shellfish from local sustainable sources.

In the spring of 2013 they relocated to North Devon, taking advantage of the local fishing industry to obtain locally landed crab, lobster and whelk direct from the fisherman; mussels and oysters from a farm nearby plus scallops and squid from a local processing unit.



Owner, Lyndsay of The Glorious Oyster is now using crowdfunding help further her plans to enhance the seaside experience for visitors and locals by creating a sustainably run seafood bar serving street food from a beach food shack in Westward Ho! Needless to say she needs help to do this and this gives everyone a unique opportunity to help her achieve her plans and be a part of her journey.
