Oystering has been a part of our family's heritage for generations. At Shore Oyster Company, we may have skipped a few generations, but we are proud to continue this tradition and provide our clients with the same high-quality products that my great grandfather provided over 100 years ago.
We grow our oysters in two creeks of the lower Northampton County in the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Our Cherrystone Creek oysters are called Chesapeake Salts. They are a nice medium-salty oyster, with a sweet and buttery finish. Our Plantation Creek oysters are called Virginia Pearls. Closer to the opening of the Chesapeake Bay, they have a slightly higher salinity with the same sweet buttery taste.
Yes, our oysters are organic. In fact, oysters are often considered a superfood. One 3-ounce serving of oysters (typically 2-3 raw oysters) has only 69 calories, 8 grams of protein and only 2 grams of fat. Oysters are not only low in calories, but they’re also packed with vitamins and minerals that are essential for your overall health. Oysters are particularly high in vitamin B12, zinc, iron, and selenium. They contain all nine essential amino acids in addition to a variety of other nutrients.
We believe in supporting our local community. We source our seed locally to insure the best possible crop. Our commitment to selling fresh shellfish ensures that our clients receive the highest quality clams and oysters we can offer.
We are a full service seafood company. We are certified to sell wholesale and retail. We also have logo merchandise.
Not only do we provide premium clams and oysters, but we also do Oyster Roasts. We handle everything for you. We cook the oysters (clams also if that's your thing) and serve them with all the fixings. We come to your house or office, or we can provide raw and cooked shellfish at your fundraiser.
