About Broadwater Oysters

The oysters are raised in Occohannock Creek, a Chesapeake tidal creek on Virginia's Eastern Shore, until they reach market size. They are then relayed to Magothy Bay on the Atlantic side of the Eastern Shore to 'salt them up' for a few days, absorbing Atlantic brine to enhance their salinity.
