| 8/2/26 | From a Gulf Shrimping Boat to an Texas Oyster Boat: Oyster Bros | "Today on The Oyster Ninja Podcast, we're heading down to the Gulf—deep in the heart of Texas—to sit down with a crew that's helping redefine what Southern oysters look like. I'm talking about David from Oyster Bros, out of Palacios, Texas. These guys aren't new to the water—they're true to it. Third-generation shrimpers who made the bold transition from shrimping into oyster mariculture, and now they're leading the charge in one of the fastest-growing oyster regions in the country. You can find Oyster Bros oysters not just across Texas, but making their way through the Southeast—Georgia, Florida—and even up to the Big Apple. So today, we're getting into legacy, risk, innovation, and what it really takes to build an oyster brand from the Gulf up. Let's get into it." | — | ||||||
