Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Tuesday, January 14th, 2025

Russo's Fresh Seafood Bluffton, a premier fresh retail and wholesale seafood market serving the Lowcountry, proudly announces its 2025 annual All-You-Can-Eat Oyster Roast. Set to take place on Saturday, February 1, from 1-5 p.m., this beloved event will be held at Russo’s Fresh Seafood, 246 Red Cedar St., Bluffton, SC, and promises an afternoon of great food, community spirit and philanthropy.  

For the second year in a row, proceeds from the event will benefit Palmetto Animal League (PAL), a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a community where every neglected animal has a second chance at life, guided by a compassionate approach to animal welfare, proactive relocation, and innovative strategies to address pet overpopulation.
 
"Being a dog lover and having seen the positive impact of last year's event, we knew we wanted to partner with an organization dedicated to animal welfare. The devastation in Asheville, N.C. has put a tremendous strain on groups like Palmetto Animal League, and we're proud to support their crucial work," said Charles Russo III, owner of Russo’s Fresh Seafood Bluffton.
 
The Oyster Roast welcomes all, with family-friendly activities and vendors including:
  • All-you-can-eat fresh oysters 

  • Beer, wine and champagne for purchase

  • New in 2025: Cup of crab stew for $5, all proceeds going directly to PAL 

  • Live music from Eric Culberson Band 

  • Bounce house for the kids 

  • Woof Gang Bakery treats and toys 

  • Shrimp Sisters seasoning and swag

 
PAL will be back at the event again this year with adoptable dogs seeking their forever homes.
 
“The Oyster Roast is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy great food and music while supporting animals in need and potentially finding a new furry family member,” said PAL Marketing Coordinator Lindsay Perry. “We’re incredibly grateful for Russo’s Fresh Seafood’s continued support, and we encourage everyone to join us for a fantastic day.”
 
Guests and their canine companions can browse tempting treats from Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming and discover Lowcountry seasonings from South Carolina’s Shrimp Sisters. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs, friends, family and their leashed pets.
 
Tickets are available at Eventbrite, and children under 8 years old are admitted free.
