Through opening many other successful seafood restaurants and oyster bars throughout the Carolinas, Paul discovered a huge flaw in all seafood restaurant business models – that the safe and reliant acquisition of oysters was highly unstable. The worst part of all is that their ability to secure oysters was subject to factors that were beyond the control of all restaurants. This includes spoilage, disease, and sustainability issues. Because of this, Paul wanted to create Sea Level NC - a seafood restaurant that grew its own signature items by relying on sustainable local supply lines. Through years of working with local aquaculture specialists, farmers, scientists, shrimpers, and other fishermen, Paul was able to secure partnerships with local oyster and clam farmers in the town of Sea Level, North Carolina. This allowed Paul to grow his own product that has been designed and harvested specifically to his restaurant's standards. Sea Level NC offers the only farm-to-fork oyster in North Carolina and they are only one of four restaurants in the entire United States with such relationships. Although their oysters are their signature dish and a must-try, we also recommend trying their takes on the classics, such as their Maine Lobster Roll and their NC Shrimp Grits.
