Our story
Rooted in the Gulf Coast
Mudbuggin Seafood was built on a simple idea: serve Gulf Coast seafood the way it's supposed to be — fresh, seasoned right, and shared with people you love.
Shuck & Jive Oysters brings the raw bar and chargrilled oyster tradition straight from the Louisiana and Texas Gulf to Houston tables. Two brands, one kitchen, one mission.
- Houston-based, Gulf Coast sourced
- Catering for events of any size
- Crawfish boils done the right way
- Oysters shucked and chargrilled fresh
- Available for private events & pop-ups

Owner & Founder
“Oh Yeah!”
Born and raised in Uptown New Orleans, Craig learned to cook at his grandmothers’ and mother’s side. He fell for seafood at 13, and by 19 had the Gulf Coast boil down cold — crawfish, shrimp, oysters, and crab. He dreamed up the name “Mudbuggin Seafood” on a New Orleans porch, and it’s been his ever since.
“There is good in every bad situation — you just have to find it. But most of all, have patience.”
