Chesapeake Bay Oyster
Chesapeake Bay, VA
In the 1600s, oysters in the Chesapeake Bay were so abundant that the oysters were filtering the bay's waters once a week. As technology improved during the Industrial Age, numbers of wild Chesapeake oysters began to decline due to over-harvesting and reef destruction. Recently, public and private interests in reviving the bay have allowed oyster populations to rebound. Gradually, the Chesapeake Oyster is making a comeback with their full and plump meats, and we are glad that we can offer them.
