At Harbor House, our main goal is to promote the confidence of our product and help clear general misconception of the East Coast Blue Point Oysters and Clams.
The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in North America. An
estuary is a semi-enclosed body of water where an ocean or sea joins with a river or other source of water. Oceans are full of salt water, while rivers flow with fresh water, the two meeting in an estuary such as the Chesapeake Bay blend into a measurable mixture of mildly salty water called brackish water.
The Chesapeake Bay is 185 miles long and ranges from 3 - 22 miles in width. The average depth is 21
feet, but it reaches 174 feet at the deepest spot.
Harbor House's Chesapeake Best Brand oysters and clams are harvested from the deepest parts of the bay. Atlantic Blue Point Oysters and Clams have never been linked or found to have any harmful contaminates. Our oysters and clams are federally USDC lot inspected
before leaving the premises, and come from state and federally inspected tidal waters.
Years of experience and proper handling are the final determining factors contributing to a promotional product.
