OUR MISSION

To bring Restaurant Ready ® live mussels, oysters and clams, farmed and harvested in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner, to our customers via the quickest, freshest, most efficient methods.

In 1986 we had one phone, one truck, one mussel boat, and a home on the docks. We also had a few core ideas.

• To deliver the freshest live shellfish everyday,
• To always guarantee everything we sell,
• To bring innovations to the shellfish industry,
• To always work in an atmosphere of respect, trust, and anima mundi (Anima Mundi is Thomas Moore’s concept of living a soulful ecology and Howell Raines defines it as “the oceanic common memory of mankind”).
• And to have fun doing it.

Today we are one of the largest producers of mussels in North America and we have integrated oysters and clams into our harvests. Additionally, we have formed strategic alliances with independent shellfish farmers who focus on growing and leave the marketing to us. We specialize in authentic brands of Restaurant Ready® live shellfish. Our customers, the variety of our live shellfish, our Restaurant Ready® process and daily shipments are the hallmark of our success. We are here to help you with all of your shellfish needs.

Look for thier great, fresh shellfish products,
 weekly starting on Thursday of each week.

QUONSET POINT OYSTER® - East Passage, Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA
Salt Water Farms is a carefully sighted shellfish farm, producing a sustainable crop in the East Passage of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island.  In this location strong tides wash billions of microscopic plankton over long-line suspended oyster trays. Tall sets of trays containing the oysters swing in the currents as the virginica oysters filter the lush food supply.  The taste is quickly salty yet finishes mild.  With 3 to 3 ½ inch distinctly managed shapes and deep oyster cups, this is Rhode Island’s “Number One” oyster…. these are oysters of legend.  Available year round.  An American Mussel Harvesters exclusive.
