The best part about these hand-harvested oysters is that they can be enjoyed September through June. The Blue Pools, briny but with a sweet finish, and the Hama Hamas, crisp and clean, come from the uniquely cold waters of the Hama Hama river in Washington State.

Here's what you get:

  • 2 dozen oysters, 24 oysters total
  • 1 dozen live, in-the-shell Hama Hama oysters
  • 1 dozen live, in-the-shell Blue Pool oysters
Additional Information

Hama Hama Pacific Northwest

In 1922, Harry and Helena Robbins founded Hama Hama, a logging company named for the river that flowed through their property in Lilliwaup, Washington. In the 1950s, the family began hand harvesting oysters from the river delta and drove their bounty to Seattle to sell to restaurants, creating one of the first markets for oysters on the half shell.

Why We Love It

The Blue Pool oysters are seeded in bags that rise and fall with the tide, rolling the oysters around, shaping their shells to have a deep cup, perfect for holding their briny liquor. The Extra Small Hama Hamas come from the mouth of the Hama Hama River where fresh river water meets the salt water of the Hood Canal. The cold temperature of the Hama Hama River allows us to enjoy these two oysters from September to June. We love savoring these two oysters side-by-side to compare the flavor and shape of the beach grown Hama Hama with that of the Blue Pool which is tumbled in deeper, saltier water.
