Meet Sammy Boyd, the owner of Southern Salt Seafood Company in Morehead City. Born and raised in Carteret County, Boyd grew up harvesting wild oysters and clams with his mother and siblings, an experience that developed his palate for fresh oysters plucked straight from the silty shore.

The practice’s benefits are two-fold, allowing Boyd to provide top-quality oysters while also helping to filter the local waterways as they grow.
