A family that's been supplying oysters to southeast Louisiana restaurants for nearly 100 years is now planning a restaurant of their own in Gretna.
Tesvich Oyster Farms grows its "reef candy" oysters in the Chandeleur Sound, and the business is based in Buras with its main oyster production in St. Bernard Parish's Hopedale. The farm supplies popular New Orleans restaurants like Sidecar Patio & Oyster Bar, Salvo's Seafood Restaurant & Market, Porgy's Seafood Market and others, as well as offering home delivery.
