Briny is better
Our signature cocktail-size oyster is easy to open with a pristine shell polished naturally by the tide. Inside, the cups are deep, smooth, and brimming with meat.
A taste of place
Just as fine wines have terroir, oysters have meroir, a unique flavour profile of their home waters. Bay of Fundy oysters are raised in icy, phytoplankton-rich seawater that results their distinctive taste, attractive smooth shells, and irresistible texture. They are as fresh, clean, and natural as our ocean year-round.
Oysters are what they eat
The Bay of Fundy’s huge tides stir up a nutrient-rich phytoplankton buffet that nourishes our oysters. Thanks to our unique geology, rich ecosystem, and distinctive seasons, our oysters thrive in oxygen-rich waters brimming with essential nutrients, trace minerals like iron, zinc, and silica, B12s, and omega-3s. The result? Oysters as nutritious as they are delicious.
-
They sure are! Oysters are low in fat, high in protein and a rich source of key nutrients, including Vitamin D, copper, zinc, selenium, iron, and Vitamin B12.
-
Yes! Oysters are highly beneficial to their coastal ecosystems

There are three main ways oysters benefit their environment:
Water filtration: Oysters are filter feeders that help extract phytoplankton, organic particles, and sediment, resulting in clearer, cleaner waters. They can even help prevent harmful algal blooms!
Carbon Sequestration: As oysters grow, they incorporate carbon from the water into their shells, which are made of calcium carbonate. The shells act as carbon sinks and help counteract acidification, which is good news for healthy seawater.
Nitrogen and Phosphorus Cycling: Oysters incorporate nitrogen and phosphorus from the water into their tissue, and excrete them as seafloor sediment. This helps remove harmful nutrients from the water column.
