Wellfleet Wild Oysters – 50 Pack

Wellfleet Harbor has been ideal for wild oyster harvesting for centuries. Native populations harvested oysters for food long before aquacultural farming was introduced in the late 1700’s. Today, it is still one of the few harbors in the world that can produce naturally occurring spat (baby oysters). The tiny spat will attach itself to a suitable habitat like a rock or old shell. As the baby oysters grow, they are shaped and formed by the natural movements of the wind and tides unique to Wellfleet Harbor. Wild oysters generally grow a bit slower than farmed oysters. This allows their shells to harden and thicken up a bit more while also allowing more time for them to grow their meat content.

Enjoy them on the half shell or add them to your favorite stuffing for this year’s Thanksgiving feast – just like our ancestors did centuries ago!

For centuries, Wellfleet has been synonymous with high-quality Cape Cod seafood, especially the creamy, briny Wellfleet oysters from Wellfleet Harbor farms, day boat scallops, sweet and briny clams, and cold water lobsters that have been harvested from Wellfleet Harbor for centuries. Founded in 2001 by a dozen Wellfleet shellfishermen, including Jim Connell, Bob Wallace, and Barbara Austin, Wellfleet Shellfish Co. ships a wide variety of local seafood from their unique location on the Outer Cape to your door.
