Oysters from Skagit Bay 🦪✨ by Skagit Shellfish

The lower levels of saltiness in the bay accent the original taste of the Pacific oyster, enhancing the fresh flavor of cucumber for an unforgettable aftertaste. The high nutrient concentration in the bay, added to the tie-and-tumble growing technique, results in a fully rounded oyster with a robust body, filling out completely the space given by its shell.

Cannot get over how incredibly beautiful Skagit Bay is. Our family has been farming shellfish here for decades. Have you even been here?

You can drive onto Camano Island and visit English Boom Trail County Park to look out over Skagit Bay 🌊❤️

We are back to it, after taking a harvest break in May to let our oysters get more spring growth!

Their shells get so fragile during these first warm water months of the year, because they are growing rapidly after eating all the delicious micro-algae around them, and can be more easily damaged during harvest.

Now they are happy, strong oysters! Our customers can once again order Oishi tumbled oysters from Skagit Bay, WA. Thanks for your patience, everyone!

Our oysters waiting to go up the conveyor belt to the cleaning and sorting machine!

We add a human-powdered inspection and cleaning on top of this machine process, to make doubly sure that the Skagit Shellfish oysters you receive are pristine and delicious!

We’ve had a challenging few weeks ❤️ In early December, the Skagit River rose to a record 37.7 feet in Mount Vernon (40 feet upstream in Concrete!), causing unprecedented flooding that devastated local homes and farms and impacted tens of thousands of people.

The flood damaged our oyster lines and the excess water in Skagit River forced us to close our Skagit Bay farm for 10 days. Lost sales and reduced hours for our incredible team made this a tough stretch. Some of our smaller seed may not have survived, but we’re taking it one step at a time, working hard to rebuild and recover.
Now we’re back online and the oysters are looking great! We are hopeful for 2026.

We are so grateful for your patience, understanding, and support while we navigated this unexpected setback. Every order, every message, every ounce of encouragement has reminded us why we do what we do. Thank you for sticking with us. We can’t wait to share our oysters with you again!

Many of you know of — or are impacted by — the immense flooding currently happening in Skagit County, Washington, where we operate. As of right now, our employees and families are safe, and that is our top priority.

We will not be harvesting oysters for the foreseeable future (at least 1 week, depends on water quality testing and river levels). We will keep our wholesale customers updated directly. We appreciate your understanding during these unprecedented times.

The flooding of this and other rivers in the area due to excessive rainfall has already resulted in evacuation orders for over 100,000 people. The Skagit River, which empties directly into Skagit Bay where we farm, is at 35 feet currently, and expected to continue rising to record highs.

We appreciate the community and government efforts to keep everyone safe. Our hearts are with our neighbors struggling to cope with the immeasurable impacts caused by these floods.
