Oysters

Cotuit Oysters are recognized for their unique briny flavor unlike any other. Fresh water streams, marshes and estuaries combined with the clean water entering from Nantucket Sound provide our oysters with a rich food supply. This special combination gives our oysters moderate to high salinity (29-30PPT) and a sweet finish which is known and demanded in many parts of the world.

Our oysters are tumbled with a mechanical sorter several times while they are growing. After they reach the desired size, they are bottom planted on the hard sand for the remainder of their life cycle. This combination produces an oyster that has a hard shell which makes shucking an easy task. After we harvest, the oysters are hand sorted and graded by size. Our market size oysters include a petite 2.5”to 3”, market 3” 3.75” and large 4”plus.
