About Toadfish

Toadfish is a coastal lifestyle brand founded in Charleston, South Carolina, built on a simple mission: leave the water better than we found it.

As coastal growth and declining water quality continue to threaten marine ecosystems, we created the Put ‘Em Back movement to help restore oyster habitats that naturally filter and protect our waterways. For every product sold, we rebuild oyster beds, with over 280,000 square feet of reef restored across eight coastal states and counting.

Rooted in a love for life on the water, our products range from fishing to kitchen, gear to drinkware, all thoughtfully designed for the coastal lifestyle and our tide-to-table ethos. Through everything we create, we aim to combine innovation, durability, and real-world functionality while connecting people to the waters they love and inspiring them to protect those waters for generations to come.
