August 5 is National Oyster Day! With that in mind, I want to share my new favorite ergonomic shucking knife, PUT 'EM BACK™ by Toadfish Outfitters, a manufacturer of oyster knives and fishing products out of Charleston, SC .
The thing I love about the knife, other than it's wonderful to hold and is a stylish blue, is that the company is eco-active, meaning it is dedicated to protecting the saltwater environment and keeping it healthy, and educating customers to better understand the cause and effect of over-harvesting versus replenishment.
I'm not the only one in the house who loves this knife. "It's an awesome shucking tool with nice opening leverage and clean cuts inside the oyster." said Jim Gilbert, my personal live-in shucker who kindly opened these Wellfleet oysters for the photo shoot.
Founded by Casey Davidson,Toadfish is committed to donating a portion of its earnings to coastal preservation and oyster reclamation. For every product sold, Toadfish plants 10 square feet of oyster beds and to date has planted approximately 2600 square feet of beds.
Additionally, Toadfish has partnered with the Coastal Conservation Association of South Carolina and has recently donated twenty thousand dollars to the organization's habitat efforts. With a motto of "shuck, recycle, rebuild," Toadfish strives to live its mission of being a good corporate citizen.
