“Your raw bar was the hit of our party! Sensational oysters, so fresh and briny, and the shrimp and poke were fantastic too! The presentation was lovely with so many choices of sauces and other condiments (especially the caviar!). Everything looked beautiful and you and David maintained charm and humor even while keeping up with our ravenous guests. You were wonderful! I am pleased to heartily recommend you to anyone looking for an incredible addition to any event. Thank you so much!”

Heidi Rhodes

Heidi got into seafood at 23, when she co-founded H&H Fresh Fish (opens in a new tab) with Hans Haveman. It started as a single farmers market stall selling wild local salmon, and it's where she found her love of looking after people.

Today she runs both H&H and Shucked, and you'll often find her behind the bar herself, shucking, chatting and keeping up with the ravenous ones.
