The Local Oyster

About

Founded in 2013 by Nick Schauman, The Local Oyster started as a one-man traveling oyster bar catering backyard gathering, wedding receptions, cocktail parties and business functions. Our events have been customized to as small as 6 guests (true oyster lovers!) to festivals featuring 50K attendees!

After teaming up with Patrick Hudson of True Chesapeake Oyster Co, the two formed our first brick and mortar location at Mount Vernon Marketplace in downtown Baltimore (520 Park Avenue). We are the only oyster bar in Maryland to have their own oyster farm--growing 3 varieties including our "house" Skinny Dippers. In 2016, Baltimore Magazine awarded The Local Oyster "Best Seafood".

Contact us today for your customized quote! We look forward to providing services to make your BIG day a memorable and tasty experience.

We hired The Local Oyster to serve raw oysters at our cocktail hour. It was probably one of my favorite things about our wedding and the guests raved about it. They were super easy to work with, the price was reasonable, the oysters were delicious, and the table setup was very, very cute. Highly Recommend!!!

If you want something fun and unique at your wedding, have The Local Oyster serve raw oysters at your wedding. People loved this! My husband loves oysters, so I got The Local Oyster to come out as a surprise for him. He LOVED it! I worked with Jen to get everything set up. She was prompt in her responses, super flexible when my venue was being a bit stuffy, and very professional. The Local Oyster set up their own table decorated with adorable oyster shucking accessories, sauces, lemons, etc., and took care of everything from start to finish. The guests loved it and you won't regret this fun addition to your wedding.

We could not have made a better choice than The Local Oyster to serve raw oysters at our wedding. My husband and I are serious oyster-lovers, so having oysters during cocktail hour was a no-brainer, and we were so happy with Nick. He came and set up his own table (decorated with adorable oyster shucking accessories, sauces, lemons, etc). He was personable & fun, and guests loved having freshly shucked oysters. It is such a fun addition to your catering--you won't regret it for a second! Word to the wise--get at least 3-4 oysters per person.
