A NEW CULINARY TRADITION

MARSH MADNESS is a collection of public, private & semi-private culinary experiences which celebrates the creatures and cuisine of coastal communities, annually, in March.

Multi-Course MARINE CUISINE Dinners + Wine Pairing Experiences

Oyster & Caviar Seminars

Cooking Classes

Raw Oyster Shucking Lessons

For 2024 we plan to offer a small collection of foodies, gourmands and epicureans the opportunity to celebrate the marshes and estuaries where MARINE CUISINE & DelicaSEAS come from. These experiences will feature animals & plants from this delicate, vital and threatened habitat. Each experience will showcase these fragile coastal ecosystems and the food chains they support. In the years to come MARSH MADNESS will evolve into a global event series featuring seminars, retreats, film screenings, educational outings and more.

MISSION: Coastal Concsiousness

This is an understanding and appreciation of the value of the history, culture, cuisine, ecology and economy of the marshes and estuaries which we share a common interest in protecting, preserving and restoring.

METHOD: Philantrology

Refining “environmental philanthropy” through a greater understanding & appreciation of biology, natural history & science.

Omakase is a 3,000 year old culinary service style developed over eons in Japan, and applied almost exclusively to sushi. For the first time, anywhere, we were the first to apply it to regular, nightly oyster service. Having delivered this service to thousands of guests in at least a dozen cities we can honestly say there truly is nothing like it on Earth and we continue to offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee to anyone who joins us for one, 12 or 36 oysters. NOTE: This will RUIN YOU for oyster service everywhere you go for the rest of your life ;D
