About Colchester Oyster Fishery
Colchester Oyster Fishery is one of the United Kingdom’s leading suppliers of fresh shellfish. Established in 1964, to grow and supply the Colchester Native Oyster and Rock Oysters, our oyster beds have a history that dates back to 1189.
The company is recognised worldwide as a supplier of the finest Scottish and Canadian Lobster, Crab, Clams, Langoustine and Oysters. We supply both directly to customers and to retailers alike. If you're a business looking to purchase our product in bulk, please contact us via our e-mail and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
In an age when much of the food we eat is the subject of controversial methods of rearing and preserving, we are proud to be a company that delivers fresh products without the need for any additives or preservatives. In fact the products we supply have high levels of many beneficial minerals and nutrients as can be seen under product information page of the products we supply.
The Fishery is based on Mersea Island, a small island 8 miles south of Colchester, connected to the mainland by a causeway that is covered at springtides. At this location overlooking the Pyefleet Creek, surrounded by unspoilt salt marshes and a bird sanctuary we grow, grade and store our shellfish.
We also have carefully chosen local suppliers like West Mersea Oyster Grower, David Gladwell, a committed member of the Responsible Fishing Scheme (RFS).
