We raise the bar when it comes to quality Canadian shellfish. Our products showcase the unique cultivation styles, innovative farming methods, and top notch processing that happens right here in beautiful British Columbia at Fanny Bay Oysters.
Venerupis Philippinarum: We grow these sweet, tender clams on our beaches in Fanny Bay, but they are enjoyed all over the world. Their beautifully patterned shells makes them a chef's dream visual for any plate. These clams are frequently served steamed, sauteed, or even on the half shell.
Nuttallia Obscurata: A species that thrives in British Columbia, these thin-shelled clams pack the most meat per pound of any clam in the world. We purge these clams in seawater, so they are always fresh, plump, and sand-free.
Mytilus edulis: Grown in deep, cool water these mussels grow bigger than those on the east coast. Their hearty shells hold rich meat that is perfect for any steamer or sauce. These mussels are grown at our Okeover Inlet and Desolation Sound farms where they are hung from rafts to feed off the nutrient rich waters. (CURRENTLY NOT AVAILABLE)
Crassostrea gigas: These Pacific oysters are our signature beach grown oysters, and a real Canadian classic. Known for their "full-slurp" effect, this oyster has a full body and showcases the unique slate like mineral flavours of the Baynes Sound. They have a tough shell from being tossed around on the rocky beaches of Fanny Bay, but this only creates firmer meat. These oysters excel on the half shell or on the grill. It's only a true Fanny Bay oyster if it comes with our logo on the tag!
Crassostrea gigas: Our signature premium floating bag oyster, these plump oysters are started at our Desolation Sound farms using an innovative floating bag system that keeps them on the surface of the ocean soaking up the sunshine and then finished in the Baynes Sound where the strong wind and waves rock them into a beautifully rounded shape. The newest oyster to the Fanny Bay Oysters line up, this perfectly balanced oyster is both sweet and salty. Currently available in petite, extra small, and small sizing. The SunSeeker oyster can only be found from our farms, using our growing specialized techniques!
Crassostrea gigas: Aggressively tumbled by Stellar Bay Shellfish Farm, this oyster looks vastly different from a Fanny Bay Oyster, even though it's grown just down the Sound from our main operations. Famously known for its small, smooth shell with a mighty deep cup, the Kusshi is always full to the brim with meat. This specality oyster is an innovative take on the tumbled oyster thanks to farmers Keith & Sean Reid.
Enjoying fresh shellfish at home is easy! Our island based Fanny Bay Seafood Shop or downtown Vancouver Shellfish Market have everything you need to make the perfect seafood meal. We now offer online ordering for pick up orders at both locations.
