Coast Seafoods Company
 
THE WORLD'S LARGEST OYSTER HATCHERY
To meet our growing need for consistent, high quality oyster larvae and seed, we developed our own Quilcene, WA hatchery beginning in 1978. Here, advanced technology, experienced technicians, and a superb natural environment have combined to make it the world's largest, with a capacity in excess of 30 billion oyster larvae per year. This same quality is now available to provide other growers worldwide with a variety of oyster and clam species, plus algae feeds, and various support services.
