America the Bountiful

Oysters in South Carolina (1x3)

Air date: Apr 15, 2024

We’ll explore the storied history of the oyster in modern-day South Carolina. It was enjoyed by the first Americans and is a critical ingredient in Gullah Geechee foodways—in short, an extraordinary bivalve. Capri harvests oysters with members of the Gullah community, enjoys a traditional Gullah oyster dish and shucks oysters alongside women who have been perfecting the art of hand shucking for generations.
