ABOUT

Estuary Oysters grows the most delicious oyster in the most nutritious and pristine waters in the world! Our Oyster’s are grown in Apalachee Bay’s upper water column in rolling / floating cages. Floating near the top, the oysters are less susceptible to seafloor predators; the continuous water flow brings them more nutrients; the rocking motion knocks off fouling organisms and chips away at their shells, forcing the oysters to grow round and thick rather than long and thin; and the tidal exposures cause them to contract, creating firmness and texture in the meat. This Oyster ranching method is relatively new, and completely new to North Florida.
