Dave’s Bio
Get to know Dave
Growing up commercially lobstering with his dad, uncle, and brothers, Dave spent no less than fourteen summers working off the coast of Block Island. For five winters after college he packaged squid and caught scallops and ground fish with his brother Chris on the boat Karen Elizabeth. In 2002, Dave started Salt Pond Oyster Company and has been growing oysters ever since. In 2012 he bought a truck, called it the Shuckin’ Truck, and has been selling his oysters and family’s catch, preparing unique and creative seafood dishes such as scallop rolls, lobster tacos and fish tacos, along with fresh salt pond oysters and littlenecks. Here’s looking forward to seeing you at OysterFest!
