Laughing King
About Laughing King
A family-run vineyard and oyster farm on Old Plantation Inlet at the southern tip of Virginia's Eastern Shore, where racks bare out of the water at every low tide. Weekly tumbling builds a strong shell and a defined hinge that shucks easily.
In plain words: briny, clean, balanced, with briny salt.
