Kumamoto Oysters - Fresh

Kumamoto Oysters were originally introduced to the West coast from Japan. “Kumos” are about 2 to 3 inches in shell length, have a very deep cup and a large meat for their size.

Our oyster farm is nestled in Humboldt Bay, California, where rich and fertile sparking waters are surrounded by beautiful California Redwoods. The bay boasts a rich ecosystem filled with shrimp, salmon, halibut, and herring that thrive in harmony with our farmed oysters.

The oysters are grown in baskets rather than longlines, which sets these oysters apart from the rest. Basket grown oysters are tumbled as the tide rolls in and out - day after day. As a result, our oysters produce a much deeper cup, allowing for a larger, more flavorful oyster for you and your family to enjoy.

Once full grown, each oyster is inspected, and hand packed for top quality by our Humboldt Quality Control team. This means you can indulge in our fresh, live oysters within days after it was harvested from Humboldt Bay.

These oysters are full-bodied and firm, low in fat, calories, and cholesterol and high in protein, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, zinc, and vitamin C. Preparing these flavorful and fresh oysters is easy. Simply shuck using a Pacific Seafood Shucking Knife and Oyster Towel. Pair with a delicious mignonette for a smooth blend of flavors, a glass of Washington Chardonnay to bring out the natural flavors, and some good company for the most impressive oysters you’ll ever eat.
