THE freshest SHELLFISH EXPERIENCE

Manila Clams

Manila Clams

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.

Savory Clams

Savory Clams

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.

Salish Mussels

Salish Mussels

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)

LET'S celebrate THE OYSTER

Fanny Bay Oysters

Fanny Bay Oysters

Crassostrea gigas: These Pacific oysters are our signature beach grown oysters. Known for their "full-slurp" effect, this oyster has a full body and showcases the 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.

Sun Seeker Oysters

Sun Seeker Oysters

Crassostrea gigas: Our signature premium floating bag oyster, these plump oysters are started at our Desolation Sound farms using an innovative floating bag system and finished in the Baynes Sound where the wind and waves rock them into 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. 

Kusshi Oysters

Kusshi Oysters

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.
