Taste the difference


A Little History...

With fishing in his blood, it had long since been a dream for Nolan to make a living from the waters of the lake he lives on. In 1995, he decided to make that dream a reality and has been "living the dream" for the 12 years. Eel Lake Oysters produces four sizes of oysters: small, medium, large, and jumbo.

In the waters of Eel Lake, more than one million oysters can be found. It takes about three years for an oyster to reach market size. Hard work, determination and a relentless quest for quality has made Eel Lake Oyster Farm a major producer of Atlantic Oysters.

So, drop by for a tour or a sample - you'll find the "Oysterman" usually in the midst of a gathering, shucking his Ruisseau Oyster and yarning about a story or two that relates to his labour of love.
