Serving oysters in a casual setting without proper plating options can be a real challenge. Half-Shell-Ware solves that problem. No more floppy plates, crushed ice, spilling juice and losing oysters. No more customers juggling a flimsy paper plate or trying to balance the oysters as they head away. Half-Shell-Ware is an attractive and effective way to present your product as elegantly as it deserves. It will drastically cut down on the time it takes to plate your product while increasing customer satisfaction.

Half-Shell-Ware is durable! We have had customers return with their plates for multiple refills over the course of a raw bar event. This drastically reduces the per serving cost while greatly reducing the amount of solid waste any event is inevitably going to produce.

Half-Shell-Ware is made from Bagasi, a blend of sugar cane and bamboo pulp. It is uncoated. It is completely compostable. In a composing experiment at home Half-Shell-Ware lasted less than 90 days before completely breaking down and being completely unrecognizable.

Half-Shell-Ware is great for oyster festivals, weddings, catered events, oyster farm tours, or even informal seafood restaurants. Literally anywhere you need to serve oysters and present them well, especially when [you don't want to have to use crushed ice.]

After a 17-year career working for two of the world's top hedge funds, I decided to leave Wall Street for an upgraded quality of life and the production of a tangible product that was environmentally beneficial to produce and was tasty besides.

We grow some of the finest oysters to be found anywhere. They are in constant contact with [the living substrate] and we handle each one multiple times during development, resulting in plump meats, robust shells, and a wonderful color.
We buried 6 plates in 3 totes of compost on November 17. By January 21 they were unrecognizable from the compost.
Give customers a reason to do business with you.
