While business has gradually been improving, P&J Oyster Company in New Orleans, the oldest shucking operation in the United States, is still at only 35 percent of its normal production – and the company has yet to resume shucking its own oysters.
We typically think of Louisiana oysters in terms of the best way to eat them, but enterprising entrepreneurs in the state are finding new uses beyond the plate.
As P&J Oyster Company marks the 135th year, Al Sunseri is thankful that the doors of his family’s business remain open. And he remains hopeful that the the next generation of oysters is growing somewhere along the Louisiana coast.
This Thanksgiving, when you gather ’round the dining room table to count your blessings, don’t forget to add Louisiana oysters to the list. Yes, the holiday favorite is available, though pricier and a little harder to come by.
