The Taylor family has been farming shellfish for over 100 years combining a century of experience with modern technology to create state-of-the-art farms, production facilities, and quality monitoring systems. From the moment their oyster, clam, mussel, and geoduck seed leaves their hatchery, to the day a crop is harvested, they nurture the growing shellfish, protect them from predators, and work to ensure that the waters of the Sound remain clean and clear. This means they can guarantee the quality of their shellfish with confidence and pride. www.taylorshellfishfarms.comOur Chef: Our deepest thanks to Chef Thomas Palmer, Chef/Owner of Oyster Creek Inn who enthusiastically agreed to volunteer his culinary expertise to provide our guests with an unforgettable meal.
