Seasons Greetings from
Penn Cove Shellfish!
The holiday season is upon us and the new year is just around the corner.
Christmas is a very busy time for us and although it's great to finish the year with a flurry, we are excited to get started with 2012 as well.
Overall 2011 was considered a lean year for shellfish production in the Northwest, including British Columbia. Due to the cool year from ther lingering effects of La Niņa, this resulted in less food in the water and therefore slow shellfish growth.
The good news is the oyster conditions and inventories are as good as they have been all year, Manila Clams are tasting great and our mussels are filling their shells very nicely.
We always invite you to check out the
oyster evaluation sheet for the current status of the oysters from our website www.penncoveshellfish.com.
We hope you all have a fantastic holiday season and and very prosperous 2012!
