Council Oak Steaks & Seafood

Council Oak Fish is doing its part to ensure the sustainability of the seafood industry.

While “fish” may be in the name, the restaurant serves a lot of oysters — in just months, we can easily rack up around 25,000 pounds worth, which is roughly 50,000 shells. That’s because so many people love eating them — and eating a lot of them. However, we’re making an effort to make sure there will continue to be enough to go around. We participate in an oyster-shell recycling program in partnership with Stockton University and the Cooperative Extension of Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station (NJAES).

Oyster farmers are able to use the recycled shells to raise more oysters, ensuring the industry’s sustainability.
