Lighthouse Oysters remain firm, full-bodied, and delicious all year long.
What are “Year-Round” Oysters?
Lighthouse Oysters are a special breed of oyster that stays firm, full and sweet 12 months a year. You may have heard that you shouldn’t eat oysters in months without an “R” in them, but that is not true of Lighthouse Oysters. Here’s why:
Many oysters spawn in the summer months, leaving the bivalve watery and greatly reduced in muscle mass – and frankly not tasting very good. Thanks to the special breeding of our exceptional year-round oysters, they remain firm and delicious throughout the summer months, when other oysters go limp. Lighthouse Oysters never go limp: they’re full and ready to eat in every season, including summertime when they’re especially delicious with a beer or chilled glass of wine.
Organic by Nature
Lighthouse Oysters are grown in the nutrient-rich waters of the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Great Wicomico River. Because our oysters are naturally disease-resistant, no added chemicals or hormones are necessary for them to achieve a strong, healthy growth rate in their ideal setting, thanks to the constant circulation of algae-rich waters on which they feed.
