We believe in responsibly sourced seafood as a means to know how and where our seafood is caught or raised, to ensure the well being of marine life populations, ecosystems and fisheries.

Alaska has been the pioneer and the global example for sustainable and eco-friendly fisheries. Alaska adheres to the internationally accepted guidelines set by the United Nation’s

The Alaska seafood industry is the economic foundation of many rural Alaska communities. Over 21,000 rural Alaska residents were directly employed by the industry in 2015, accounting for 15% of all rural working age adults.

In 1975, David and Maureene Nisbet began farming a mere 10 acres of tideland in the southwest corner of Washington known as Willapa Bay.

As good stewards of the second largest estuary on the Pacific Coast and one of healthiest estuaries in the continental United States, we’re dedicated to caring for the bay.

Owned and operated by the Nisbet Family, Nisbet Oyster Co., Inc. employs more than 80 full-time men and women on our 1900-acre farm and in our state-of-the-art processing plant, which is considered a model facility by both the FDA and the Washington State Department of Health, Shellfish Division.

Clam farming starts out at the hatchery where clam larvae are set on fine screens allowing algae rich water to be pushed through the juvenile clams, thereby allowing them to feed continuously and grow.

When clams are at sufficient size they are relocated into mess bottom trays and taken to the nursery rafts.

Once clams reach fingernail size they are moved to the growing areas located all around the Pacific Northwest. When the baby clam dig themselves down and grow naturally under the same in tidal areas as wild clams do.

Once they reach market size they are dug up, graded bagged and sent to market.
