About

Bright Side Oysters is a sustainable oyster farm located in Grand Isle Louisiana. We grow oysters in floating cages which allows us to create a beautiful and consistent product year round without ever having to dredge the bottom.

Hurricane Zeta hit on October 28th 2020 as a category 3 and basically hit us dead on. We lost 60-70% of all of our cages and oysters in the matter of just a few hours. And we came back strong primarily because of many many generous donations made to a go fund me campaign that we set up. THEN….. Hurricane Ida hit on August 29th as a Cat 5 hurricane and again we were pretty much hit dead on and guess what?!? Yep, we got screwed, again…. We did not loose as much equipment, but because we couldn’t get down to the island for over a week 70-80% of our oysters died because they got smothered in the mud and we lost our boat. But things are looking up! The farm is back in order, we are harvesting weekly, and we are fixing up a boat.

You can find our oysters in several New Orleans restaurants and we are hoping to get into more as soon as we can get our numbers up. If you would like to know where to find our oysters please reach out to us via instagram or give us a call/text!
