UNIQUELY SWEET OYSTERS

WHERE WE ARE

Where the oyster grows is as important as the work we oyster farmers put in. At Sweet Oyster, we are fortunate as Cascumpec Bay is a perfect oyster environment.

Our Sweet Oysters benefit from the nutrient-rich estuary of the Mill and Foxley Rivers as they drain into the Bay. The North Atlantic and the Gulf of St Lawrence, add the saltiness of pristine ocean water. All is protected by the Cascumpec Sand Hills.

WHO WE ARE

The Sweet family has been tending the land and the sea in Prince Edward Island for 4 generations. We care about our local environment – from the wildlife and ecology, to the people who work with us and our wider community.

Aaron Sweet, great-grand-son of John Sweet, hand selects each oyster to ensure that only the best bear the family name.

ENJOY OUR OYSTERS

Freezing water, salt spray, hauling crates and dawn-starts….Oysters can be hard work.

It takes 3 years for our oysters to grow their rounded and regular hard shells. Three years of filtering nutrients and plankton from the Bay. And 3 years for us of inspecting, tumbling, hauling, shifting, lifting and sorting.

But the end product is a delight. A delicious mouthful of sea-flavour, packed with protein, minerals and vitamins. And all of it sustainable, environmentally friendly and ecologically beneficial.

There are lots of ways to enjoy our oysters. From the fanciest downtown oyster bars accompanied with cold Chablis or Fizz, to the Seafood Shack on the beach. Lemon optional.

Our personal favourite? At the end of the day, back at the truck, with the team. Cold beer optional.
