BC Lower Mainland, BC Vancouver IslandCompany Notes:
Two of our challenges in life were how to live lightly on this beautiful blue planet and how to do something worthwhile. Shellfish aquaculture has enabled us to meet these challenges. We have refined our farming methods to be compatible with the environment. We maintain genetic diversity by collecting wild seed, and the oyster rafts act as nursery reefs for a wide range of fish, algae, and invertebrates. Our oysters and clams feed only on naturally-occuring marine plankton. No chemicals, pesticides, or colouring agents are used in the growing of our shellfish. The blend of growing healthy, top-quality shellfish and living the outdoor marine lifestyle is one we truly enjoy. Our commitment is to provide premium-quality shellfish for your enjoyment; and to do so in a manner that allows future generations the same opportunity.Products Available:
Littleneck Clams
Availability: Available Year Round
These clams are one of the smaller species native to the Pacific Northwest. Their shell ranges in size from 3 cm (1.25") to 5 cm (2.0"). Littleneck clams are usually cream coloured, but can be adorned with attractive brown patterns, reminiscent of native art. Littleneck clams have a robust flavour, and are a wonderful base for seafood cuisine. Weekly orders of up to 150 lbs are available.
Manila Clams

These are medium-sized clams. Their shell ranges from 3 cm (1.25") to 5 cm (2.0") and has an oblong shape. The shell is typically cream coloured, but can be quite colourful, with many patterns. Our manila clams are wonderful in a pasta dish or chowder. They are especially tasty when dipped in garlic butter. Weekly orders of up to 150 lbs are available.
Pacific Oysters - Beach Oysters
Availability: Available Year Round
Our oysters have a firm flesh, with a sweet, salty flavour highlighting a pleasant cucumber aftertaste. Beach oysters are hard shelled and have a good shelf life. Our beach oysters are delicious barbecued, in a chowder, as part of an ethnic dish or eaten raw on the halfshell. Oysters are sold by the dozen and the price varies with the size requested. The sizes range from extra small (2-3") to large (5-5.5"). Weekly orders of up to 100 dozen or more are available.
Pacific Oysters - Deepwater Oysters
Availability: Available Year Round
These oysters have a milder flavour and a lighter shell than beach-grown oysters and have plump, ivory coloured meat. Our deepwater oysters are ideal for baking, on the grill, in a chowder, or as part of a seafood dish. Oysters are sold by the dozen, and the price varies with the size requested. The sizes available range from mediums (4-4.5") to extra large (5.5" ). Weekly orders of up to 100 dozen or more are available.
Pacific Oysters - Shucking Oysters
Availability: Available Year Round
Shucking oysters come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are ideal for chowders, stuffings, and other oyster dishes. They are sold by volume rather than by the dozen.
