Bay Magazine Summer 2020

All that painful paperwork is worth it in the end, especially for consumers like us, who get to enjoy this delicacy in its freshest form. At Forty North, Gregg harvests three different kinds of oysters: Sugar Shack, Rose Cove and Swan Point. Of the three, Sugar Shacks are the best sellers of the bunch. Hand selected at two and a half inches, these cocktail oysters start salty and finish sweet a surprising flavor profile for a bay-raised critter.

In his efforts to rebuild the Jersey oyster industry and the bay’s ecosystem, Gregg also hopes to build a legacy for his family and set an example for future farmers. “I hope the farm flourishes and is a viable career option for my two-year-old son once he’s ready. We hope we can set an example for sustainability.”

Gregg’s oysters can be found at The Arlington, Daymark, Black Eyed Susan’s, Delaware Avenue Oyster House & Bar, Parker’s Garage, Bistro 14, Stefano’s, Blue Claw Market, Pearl Street Market, The Old Causeway and Triton’s.
