Northeast Oceans Oysters

Island CreekSince 1992 Island Creek Oysters, voted the best overall oyster in the country, has been harvesting the finest oysters for restaurants across the country. Grown by Skip Bennett and his gang of Duxbury oyster farmers, Island Creeks have an amazing butter-and-brine taste. Every single one is delightfully firm and beautifully clean tasting, qualities that enabled Island Creek to win Best Oyster at the largest blind oyster tasting ever held.Blue PointOur Blue Points are a product of the Northwestern Long Island Sound, the result of a unique blend of aquaculture and natural development. When the Blue Points have attained the size of a dime, the oysters are transferred from the nursery beds to either the warmer, phytoplankton-rich shallows of coastal Connecticut (thereby accelerating the Blue Point’s rate of growth), or to the cold, deep recesses of the Sound (termed “storage beds”) where the oysters continue at a much slower rate. By employing such methods, Blue Point fishery is able to supply us with oysters that are remarkably consistent in size, shape, cup definition, cleanliness, flavor and texture. Winter availability is more or less unparalleled in the North Atlantic oyster industry. Name recognition, incredible consistency all from a trusted family fishery that has been responsibly harvesting oysters from the same waters for six generations.WellfleetOur Wellfleet oysters are grown out of and harvested in from the estuaries of Wellfleet Harbor in the Northeastern region of Cape Cod Bay, providing an idyllic setting for the aquaculture operations which have made the name Wellfleet synonymous with premium grade oysters. Relatively limited availability combined with their exceptional quality has made the Wellfleet oyster one of the most highly sought after and recognizable varieties of oyster anywhere in the world - an oyster of exceptional consistency.
