Gay Island Oysters is a family owned and operated business. Established in the year 2000, the oyster farm sits in the open ocean along Maine's beautiful coast line. One of the reasons the oysters taste so good is because they are cultivated on the surface of the ocean in floating mesh bags. The constant movement and good tidal flow strengthens and deepens the cup which creates a clean shaped oyster. The meat is full, sweet, salinity is perfect, and the oysters are consistent year round.
