Perry Raso grew up digging for little neck clams in Point Judith pond. After graduating from the University of Rhode Island, he opened up the Matunuck Oyster Farm, a small one-acre oyster farm in South Kingston, RI. The farm quickly grew and then in 2009, Perry became a restaurateur as well, renovating a small dilapidated clam shack at the entrance of the Pond into the critically acclaimed Matunuck Oyster Bar. Today, the restaurant is packed to the gills! They have opened a new oyster hatchery, and you can purchase the small and sweet Matunuck Oyster far outside of New England. Take a listen as we talk with Perry about aquaculture, starting a "Pond to Plate" restaurant, and what makes a good oyster.
