Susan Wicks comes from a family of baymen, boat builders, sea captains and the occasional rumrunner. After a Hall of Fame basketball career and stint as a sports ambassador for the U.S. State Department, Sue came home to Long Island to grow oysters. 

You read that right: The former standout forward with the New York Liberty now happily spends her days raising sustainably grown Violet Cove Oysters on an idyllic aquatic farm.  

And get this: Sue’s Violet Cove Oysters can be shipped directly from the farm, to you. Order a couple of dozen today and they’ll be at your door tomorrow, packed fresh from the sea. Pop open a bottle of rose to wash them down for an instant summer party. 

Use code WHTNOW to score a free oyster knife and shucking instructions with your first order. 

Click. Shuck. Savor the sea.
