6. STANDISH SHORE OYSTERS® CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA
ABOUT PRODUCT DETAILS
Beautiful Duxbury oysters
grown on our farm
by Ben himself.
Our Standish Shore Oysters are grown on our
farm in Duxbury Bay, MA. They’re the perfect
Atlantic oyster because of their well-balanced
flavor, hearty shells, and sweet-buttery meats.
Our oysters are bottom-planted, a growout
method that produces robust and strong
oysters. We cull each oyster by hand for quality
and shape, and only the finest Duxbury oysters
make it into our bags. You can learn more about
our growing process and our farm on our
website at www.standishshoreoysters.com.

ABOUT PRODUCT DETAILS

We buy high quality steamers from Maine and
occasionally Cape Cod, and we purge them in
our wet storage system for at least 48 hours.
We triple-wash them, pick out any large or
broken, and hand pack them in styros with gel
packs and bubble wrap. This process ensures

9. HOLLANDER & DE KONING MUSSELS MYTILUS EDULIS
ABOUT PRODUCT DETAILS
Every mussel is washed,
graded for size, de-bearded,
and purged of any sand.
Once you try them, you’ll
never forget them.
Hollander & de Koning mussels are the only
Dutch-style mussel in North America. They are
special because they are grown on the ocean
bottom unlike other mussels, which are rope or
pole-grown. This technique produces superior
meats that are robust, hearty, and flavorful. The
de Koning family has been growing mussels for
six generations since 1776. With their expertise
and the pristine waters of Bar Harbor, Maine,
Hollander & de Koning mussels truly are the
best premium blue mussels on the market
today.

10. WILLAPOINT SHUCKED OYSTERS CRASSOSTREA GIGAS
ABOUT PRODUCT DETAILS
Never worry you’ll get more
liquid than juicy oyster
meats in every half gallon tub.
Of all the shucked oysters we’ve tried, these
Willapoint oysters are the best. They are plump,
sweet, and hold up well for numerous cooking
uses. The advantage of having a West Coast
shucked oyster is the guarantee that the liquor
will not weigh more than 10% of the unit
weight. You can always expect at least 3.5 lb. of
oyster meat from every half gallon. These
oysters are also great because they are triploid
oysters, which means you can expect their meat
quality to stay plump and consistent all year.

11. MANILA CLAMS VENERUPIS PHILIPPINARUM
ABOUT PRODUCT DETAILS
Beautiful shells and sweet,
tender meats. A great addition
to brighten any dish!
These native Asian clams were accidentally
introduced to the US when cargo ships pumped
out their ballasts. Since then, they have become
a Pacific Northwest staple and an interesting
ingredient chefs like to feature in their seafood
specials. Our manila clams are flown from
Washington and then wet-stored in our HACCP-
certified seawater system to rejuvenate them
and increase their shelf life. They are available
in two sizes, small and medium.
