We are excited to sit down with Peter Stein, the owner and founder of Peeko Oysters! An ex-teacher and management consultant, he traded in his desk for the dock when he launched Peeko Oysters, the only oysters based out of New Suffolk, NY. Tune in as we talk to Peter about how his early childhood passion in aquaculture led him down the path to becoming an entrepreneur, the environmental benefits of oyster farming and the importance of creating more transparency in the fishing industry.
