About

North Fork Big Oyster

North Fork Big Oyster is a family owned and operated oyster farm that produces boutique Peconic oysters for restaurants, events and oyster lovers of all stripes in and around New York.

​Our oyster seed comes from the best New York oyster hatcheries. Before “planting” in cages on the bay bottom, the seed spends several weeks in our Mattituck Creek flupsies devouring algae from the warm, nutrient-rich creek water. When the seed size reaches ¾”, it is ready for a trip to the deep end of the pool in a corner of the Peconic known as Hog Neck Bay between the North and South forks of Eastern Long Island. We grow natural seed that spawns and contributes to the wild oyster population of Peconic Bay.
