The secret to Sea Pines Resort’s truly smokin’ oysters
The secret behind the acclaimed oysters at Sea Pines Resort lies in a unique smoking technique. Local oysters are brined and then cold-smoked with applewood for four hours, infusing them with a subtle, savory flavor. Executive Chef Matt Saenz revealed that the key to achieving the ideal smokiness is maintaining a precise temperature, ensuring that the oysters remain plump and juicy while developing a rich aroma. The result is an exceptional dish that showcases the natural flavors of the Lowcountry, delighting guests with its smoky, briny perfection.
