Umpqua Triangle Oysters

Located in Winchester Bay, Umpqua Triangle Oysters is known for their clean, sweet flavor and firm texture. The oysters are grown in a unique protected area formed by the southern jetties, where fresh water from the Umpqua River mixes with cool Pacific Ocean water to create ideal oyster growing conditions.

Rather than growing oysters directly on the bay floor, Umpqua Aquaculture uses an innovative suspended long line method. Young oysters are attached to recycled oyster shells and suspended on long curtains in the water, where they grow for approximately two to four years without touching bottom sediment. Continually submerged in cool, clean water, the oysters develop the slightly salty, sweet flavor that has made Umpqua Triangle Oysters a favorite among Pacific Northwest oyster lovers. Umpqua Triangle Oysters are available exclusively at the farm store in Winchester Bay, making a visit to the source part of the experience. Stop in for fresh shucked oysters, oysters in the shell, smoked oysters, crab, and local fish, including rockfish sourced through Little Fish Fine Seafood Market in Coos Bay. Pick up oysters to grill at your campsite or prepare at home, then browse the shop’s large selection of sauces and condiments, local wines and beer, and gifts to round out your Oregon Coast seafood experience.
