It’s so special for us to share this with you all:

🎟️🚨 Tickets for Saltwater Cinema at Thalian Hall are live!! 🚨🎟️

We’re so proud to help support the work of Cape Fear River Watch (Cape Fear River Watch) and Oyster South (Oyster South) with proceeds from this event. These two organizations work tirelessly in service of our local communities and their environment—check them out to learn how!

We’ve got a special night in a special place with special people ahead of us. Join us for a double feature celebrating the people, traditions, and waterways that define sustainable seafood in the South. We’re kicking off the night at 5:30 with a reception to spend some time with six Southern oyster farmers, snack on some freshly shucked oysters, and enjoy a w**e and b**r bar.

The first of two screenings, “Shellbound: An Anthology of Southern Oyster Culture” explores the traditions, challenges, and communities shaping the region’s oyster industry today. Produced by The Local Palate magazine (The Local Palate) and BLK ELK ( ) supported by Oyster South, the documentary shares the stories of farmers and chefs, pulling back the curtain on oysters in the American South.

Next, enjoy “From Marsh to Table,” a short documentary originally produced for the Emmy Award-winning series “My Home, NC.” The film brings together wild seafood harvester Ana Shellem (Äna Shellem) and James Beard Award-winning chef Ricky Moore (Chef Ricky Moore) for an unforgettable day in North Carolina’s coastal marshes. The piece beautifully celebrates the connection between the water, the people who know it best, and the food it provides.

Stick around after the screenings for a conversation moderated by Erin Byers Murray (erinbmurray) of The Local Palate magazine. Chef Dean will be joined by Conor MacNair (N. SEA. Oyster Co. | The Oyster Barn), Ana Shellem, Chef Ricky Moore (Saltbox Seafood Joint), film producer Maggie Ward (Maggie Ward), and filmmaker Heather Burgiss (Heather Guffee Burgiss) in a behind-the-scenes look at what doing this work actually means to the people who love it and do it every day.

Tickets to every Out to Sea event are available via the link in our bio🥂🍿✨See y’all at Thalian Hall!

🚨🦅 Calling all members of our downtown community 🦅🚨

Introducing Community Conversations, a periodic gathering of folks who live, work, and enjoy the downtown Wilmington community to raise awareness and education in regards to our local environment.

We are coming together with Cape Fear River Watch on September 22nd to listen and learn about water quality in the Cape Fear River from Cape Fear Riverkeeper Kemp Burdette!

Doors open at 5pm with a little time to connect over free snacks and drinks provided by our team (thank you all!) Then Kemp will take center stage to speak on the river’s water quality, dive into the impacts to our drinking water, and provide resources for each and every guest to bring about positive change for our beautiful hometown.

If you’re interested in attending this first gathering, RSVP via the Community Conversations link in captions!

We know y’all have been missing our craft soda lately—and tonight, it’s back! Introducing the Front & Center 🌟🍑 a carbonated dream of ginger, peach, and yaupon tea. It’s this year’s fundraising collaboration with Fronting Life. We’ve gotten to know Fronting Life through our Chef de Cuisine Jay. Here’s what he has to say:

“Our industry’s exciting nature can often lead to overstimulation and mental exhaustion. Fronting Life helps provide me with a safe, still space to explore healthy ways of winding down—all while being supported by our community.”

Starting tonight while supplies last, $1 from each sale of Front & Center will go to support Fronting Life’s donation-based weekly workshops that provide space for mindfulness, meditation, community, and creative expression. Check them out Fronting Life and maybe find a little space for yourself ✨

Y’all hear us talk all the time about the water in our area and its bounty of seafood, but what about the food growing in the soil? Healthy soil makes for better food on our plates—better coffee, w**e, and spirits in our glasses, too. We’re thrilled to announce that Seabird is teaming up with Zero Foodprint for Dirty Drinks, a bar and beverage campaign that gets grants to farmers to build healthy soil!

From August 24th to August 30th, our Sea Martini will be serving a special purpose. $1 from each of them sold will go directly to farmers restoring our climate by building healthy soil. Bottoms up, carbon down!

Head over to zerofoodprint.org/dirty to learn more about how we’re working with ZFP to make drinks more sustainable and delicious.

It’s Oyster Happy Hour again tonight, so you know what that means—great oysters at a great price!

🍻🦪✨

On tap tonight, we’ve got Little Stars from the waters of Pamlico Sound. Some of you shell flippers ( 😉) may have noticed these oysters looking particularly beautiful lately and you’re not wrong! The folks at have recently brought New Zealand’s FlipFarm system to their farm, allowing them to work smarter, not harder. The system works with the oysters’ growth cycle to naturally tumble, flip, and dry each shell to perfection. This new process leads to stronger, deeper shells and stronger adductor muscles—building up glycogen in a tightly sealed shell for a sweeter, cleaner tasting oyster.

Oyster farmers can’t control what Mother Nature brings to the table, but they can—and do—put in the work to care for them along the way. We so appreciate the innovative ways the team over at Little Stars Oyster Farm keeps their oysters fresh, consistent, and more delicious than ever 🩵

Stop in tonight from 5 to 6pm in the bar area only for $1-per-shell oysters. Seating is first come, first served—so bring a little umbrella and get here a little early!
