Even though oysters come from the same bag, each one is unique, growing at a different rate. After we bring in a harvest, we sort each bag of oysters by size while also removing dead or injured ones. Once sorting is complete, the shellfish are washed and placed in ice chests for transport to wholesalers, farmers markets, and our retail store.

Why are oysters even better in the fall and winter?

As the weather turns colder, oysters switch their focus from reproducing towards feeding. This leads to plumper, tastier meat!

Now is the best time to enjoy your Bodega Bay oysters so stop on by!

How do you shuck an oyster? In this video, we show the techniques for shucking an oyster for either hand (the left-handed point-of-view starts at about 1:20).

🦪 On a flat, firm surface, place the flat side of the oyster facing up, with the hinged end pointing towards your dominant hand.
🦪 Cover either the oyster with a towel or your hand with a sturdy glove for protection.
🦪 Insert an oyster knife into the hinge and apply pressure until the hinge begins to fail. Try twisting side to side (not up and down) while applying pressure to pop the hinge.
🦪 Slide the knife into the oyster and drag the blade across the underside of the top (flat side) shell to sever the adductor muscle.
🦪 Discard the top shell.
🦪 Slide the knife under the body of the oyster to sever the other side of the adductor muscle.

Today we celebrate the Fall Equinox and what is traditionally considered to be the official start of oyster season. Why is that? As we move towards colder months, oysters tend to have plumper meat.
