Are there seasonal harvest times for shellfish in the Pacific Northwest?
The ocean water of Pacific Northwest is consistently cold and yields high quality product year round. We do have seasonal specialties though. The Kumamoto oyster (the one we are eating now) is coming into season; it will only get better over the next couple months. The Mediterranean mussels are also coming into season and are – truly – the best summer fare, especially with a glass of white wine! Why should consumers support Taylor Shellfish? We have a very high commitment to quality and local community. When you support a local, multi-generational business like Taylor Shellfish (which employs around 300 WA state residents) you’re giving back to your community. And that commitment to local doesn’t have to stop with us. There are lots of local producers – shellfish and otherwise – who employ our residents and hold deep commitments to quality. Where can we find you? We’re at the University District and Ballard farmers markets but if you want the full experience, pack your family or sweeth
