Umpqua Aquaculture

Read Wendy’s review from 4 years ago and it still holds true. We stopped by because we were told during a lighthouse visit that it was worth a visit.
We chatted for a bit with an employee about the possibility of them setting up a few barbeque pits and selling all the accoutrements required for opening and barbequing oysters. They used to do that at Drake’s Bay Oysters in Point Reyes and that place was always packed on weekends.
Anyway, we asked for ½ dozen oysters shucked. She actually apologized that the oysters were large. Bring them on! Then she told us that they grabbed a few extra because sometimes the oysters aren’t as nice as they should be but since there was no problem today, we got 9 for the price of 6 ($ 2 each).
She also presented a basket of sauces that we could choose from to dress our oysters. YUMMMM!

Outstanding fresh oysters. A tiny store, part of a processing plant, near the marina in Winchester Bay, Oregon. Smelly of rotting oysters, or could that be the old smelly fishermen I smell, huge piles of «oyster bones», and good honest fresh ocean air. They sell unshucked, shucked, and oyster or shrimp cocktail. A quart jar of sweet, fresh oysters will put you back about $ 25. A large cocktail, $ 5. A bargain, really.
Picturesque spot, laid back attitude, no restaurant. Cash only!
And plenty of camping facilities nearby. If you love to fish, this is a good place to launch.
