Beaufort
Home of Lady's Island Oyster and its Single Lady, founded in 2007 by Frank Roberts, who built a hatchery in 2014 when the state shut out northern seed.
Chesapeake Gold
Hoopers Island Oyster Company's caged triploid oyster, from a farm a third-generation crabber co-founded in 2010. It also runs Maryland's first commercial oyster hatchery.
Great South Bay
The bay behind Fire Island that named the Blue Point. Its oysters collapsed between 1940 and 1980; Islip's hatchery and leased plots are bringing farmed ones back.
Netarts Bay
Oregon's clean, salty little bay, where a hatchery's dying larvae became the first clear sign of ocean acidification reaching shellfish farms.
Dabob Bay
A deep, forest-ringed bay so short of food that its oysters grow slowly and stay crisp and salty. Taylor Shellfish chose it for a hatchery.
Dodge Cove
Hatchery-born oysters finished on the bottom of the Damariscotta River by the operators of Maine's oldest oyster farm. Light, citrus and restrained brine, says the grower.
Mookie Blues
A surface-grown Damariscotta oyster from a farm whose hatchery seeds much of the East Coast. The grower promises a big briny kiss and a sweet finish.
Island Creek
A Duxbury Bay oyster from a farm started after a parasite wiped out one man's clams. Cold, full-salinity water in a bay that never had wild oysters.
