The sun is starting to set a lot earlier, which means our days are feeling a lot shorter. 😞 The generator helped to keep a light on the deck as we finished up for the day.

It’s finally flippin’ Friday.

Flipping exposes the oysters and gear to air temporarily so they can dry, which helps prevent fouling. It also helps to strengthen and harden the shells. This gear is new for us, so it’s been really cool to see how things are growing 🦪🌊

About

Tommaso Shellfish

Our farm is nestled in the cold waters of Sea Otter Sound, located near Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. Tommaso Shellfish started over 15 years ago and is a small family owned and operated oyster farm (James Greeley), that harvests and handles mostly by hand.

The farm was started from scratch and we built our own a timber floathouse from the water up. Our oyster seed is purchased from a local FLUPSY here in Sea Otter Sound.

We specialize and take pride in growing Pacific Oysters that reflect the pristine and remote environment of Sea Otter Sound's coastal landscape.

Taste

Our Oysters

Mmmm... these plump, buttery bivalves are mild with a hint of salt.

They are perfect for any raw, deep fried, smoked or grilled half shell delicacy of your choosing.

So, whether you are hosting an event, own a restaurant, or just want to sit back and relax with family and friends. Anyway you shuck 'em, these oysters can be prepared for anything.

Our oysters are harvested from certified waters and lab tested (Alaska DEC) (AK#7844-SS).
