We grow oysters in two different ways, we have the wild spat fall from oysters in the river and we buy in oyster seed which is commercially grown oyster spat and comes in a variety of sizes.

We are an oyster farm, first and foremost, that is who we are, what we do and what we love.

We take great care looking after our live shellfish and as a rule we don't sell live lobsters or crabs online, instead we cook to order and the lobsters and crabs are always dispatched humanely with a Crustastun before cooking.

We have a huge range of prawns; raw, cooked, whole, peeled or part peeled and thats before we even start on the different sizes. Needless to say, we have the prawn, shrimp or langoustine that you are looking for. 

In one word... sustainability. You can be sure that by choosing a Canadian lobster you are not only eating something delicious, but the harvesting methods employed to catch the lobster are good for the environment and the future of the wild Canadian lobsters.

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.

Our platters are named after the creeks and islands within our Fishery, but this platter is so generous, we decided to name it after the Island we live on.

September is our favourite time of year; when the water cools down in Pyefleet Creek, which for us oyster farmers means one thing - Colchester native oysters are ready!

At the Fishery, we are in the process of regenerating our native oyster stock, we have been in this process for the last 50 years.

Let's face it; lobsters are delicious. Sweet, succulent and sustainable. Yes, that's right we did just say lobsters are sustainable.
