To All Oysters
Irish Point Oyster
Rustico, PEI
Irish Point Oysters are some of the cleanest, most consistent, and well-balanced oysters to come out of the Atlantic. Depending on the time of year, their shells can take on beautiful hues of green (see last photo), a reflection of the algae-rich waters that feed and nurture these oysters.

With over 20 years in the oyster business, Raspberry Point Oyster Co produces some of North America’s most sought-after oysters. Beginning in the early 1990’s, Raspberry Point Oyster Co. has blossomed into the company it is today.
Raspberry Point’s leases are some of the most northern stocks of oysters on North America. Because of this, each oyster takes between 4 – 6 years to reach market size.
