I am so glad you’re here!

My family has been making a living off of the water for six generations. I’ve grown up on the creek, ran clams as a kid, and even joined my dad in the oyster business. Long days dredging and late nights shucking is hard work, but it’s also magical.

Our small fish market and raw bar in Port Republic, NJ has allowed me to share my love of oysters with my neighbors, but I’ve always dreamt of sharing the magic with others, meeting them right where they are, and so, Saltwater Soirées was born.

Saltwater Soirées exists to provide a curated shucking experience for any type of event you have in mind. Together, we can collaboratively see your vision come to life!

Every event, get-together or party becomes a memory, and Saltwater Soirées is here to bring a friendly and experienced touch to every occasion.

Thank you for stopping by, and considering us!
