We are an Oyster Farm
Our Fishery is on the shore of Pyefleet Creek on Mersea Island off the coast of Essex, where oysters have been farmed since Roman times. Our oysters lay on the river bed roaming with the mineral rich, brackish tides.
We have been supplying oysters and shellfish to the top restaurants, hotels and to your door for over 54 years. We pride ourselves on only supplying the finest quality seafood both from our own river and further afield.
Please Note: At the moment we are only able to deliver to you on Thursdays and Fridays.
Fishery Favourite Recipes
Langoustines with lemon & pepper butter
This langoustines recipe is perfect for dinner parties – quick, a bit showy and totally delicious.
Smoked Mackerel Pate
Smoked mackerel pate is a Fishery favourite, but it also divides us - those who add horseradish and those who don't. I am a horseradish fan, but you can leave it out of the recipe if you prefer.
Scallops and Cauliflower Puree
Scallops and cauliflower are a match made in a sweet, creamy heaven. Just be sure to blitz the cauliflower for long enough so to get a really smooth creamy puree.

The Last 500 Native Oysters
We have the last of our native oysters for this season, once these 500 native oysters have gone, then you will have to wait until September for the native oyster season to start again.
What's a Cracked Crab?
We have added a new product, a cracked crab. We know that it can be daunting when you order a cooked crab, it arrives and then what do you do with it? What parts can you eat and what exactly are dead mans fingers?
New Smoked Salmon
We have been trying to find a new smoked salmon and it turns out that we didn't have to look very far, just to Maldon a mere 16 miles away and to a friend Darcy, who used to work at the Fishery.
