Our Oyster
Slow growing, cold water, Atlantic Oyster, farmed in Robinhood Cove on Georgetown Island.
Twice a day the flood tide refreshes their palates with salty cold water rushing into the head of Robinhood Cove from the Atlantic — and twice a day the ebb tide washes over them with an abundance of nutrients drawn from the warmer shallow waters of the food factory marsh at the cove’s bottom.
Our oysters live closer to the marsh end, giving them a distinctively sweet taste.
For both oysters and their farmers, life is good on the Hood.
We fly our oysters day after harvest to your restaurant, home, or office via UPS

We love our customers and appreciate all the wonderful feedback they share!
Your oysters were delicious. They were very fresh. I am highly recommending them to my friends. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest, I'm giving them a 10. I am not kidding. They were some of the most fresh and tasty oysters I have eaten.

My Dad just called and he is loving them! He has never had such sweet oysters and he is a big fan! Even my mom who doesn’t like them tried one and thought they were good! Nothing like she ever had tasted before! So kudos!

Love is an understatement. These are my favorite now for sure. Better than I remember having as a kid when we would visit family in Maine. We have ordered from a few shippers in the past, and your product and service surpass them all.
