203: Tia Clark, Casual Crabbing With Tia (Charleston, SC)

The blue crab is greatly cherished in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Many locals prefer its sweet meat over all other locally caught seafood, and it's an animal that can be found from New England to Texas, but much of those ecosystems are under immense development pressure. Blue crabs require both inshore brackish waters and high salinity ocean waters to complete their life cycle, but here in Charleston,SC, they now have an ambassador -- Tia Clark. She's a Charleston native and a food and beverage veteran who started Casual Crabbing with Tia in 2017. That budding business has now become recognized as one of the top Airbnb Experiences in the world, and she's teaching tradition and respect for the sea with every cast of her net.
