Arguably the most famous oyster in North Carolina, Stump Sound oysters are as refreshing as the ocean itself. The Stump Sound is found on the northwest side of Topsail Island, near enough to the Atlantic to create a salty oyster, but sheltered from strong currents. This oyster is large and salty. They hold up well to steaming and cooking, and are an excellent half shell option.
