Charleston, SC (October 23, 2017) – Toadfish Outfitters, an eco-active coastal advocate and leading manufacturer of coastal products, announces the launch of its Put ‘Em Back Shucking Cloth. Made from puncture resistant fabric, it makes the shucking process safer, easier and more enjoyable, especially when paired with the Put ‘Em Back Oyster Knife. The cut-proof shucking cloth is for sale on the company website and at assorted gift shops, tackle stores, kitchen stores, and men’s and women’s boutiques from Cape Cod to Florida.
According to Casey Davidson, founder of Toadfish, the shucking cloth aims at replacing the old dirty gloves and worn out hand towels that frequent the Southern fall oyster roast. Toadfish’s shucking cloth allows for opening oysters in a more stylish, cleaner, and safer way. It features anti-microbial and cut-proof fibers woven in the perfect shape and size for oyster shucking. Because it is machine washable, it is a tool that can be used to open oysters for many seasons.
Toadfish Outfitters creates thoughtfully designed products that are receiving accolades from chefs, home cooks, and seafood lovers across the country. Furthermore, Toadfish is in the spotlight for its work with coastal habitat restoration projects. A friend to the coast, Toadfish’s mission is to enhance the time people spend on, and around the coast by giving back to it. The company contributes a percentage of every sale to re-building oyster habitats and has donated over $25,000 dollars and helped plant over 3,000 square feet of new oyster beds across the great American coastline so far this year.
The company’s growth plan includes creating partnerships in every location where products are sold to rebuild oyster habitats in all coastal states. “We are a ‘lead-by- example’ friend of the coast and strive to have a positive impact on water quality to help ensure sustainable marine ecosystems for generations to come” said Davidson.
