The Story…
Pipes Cove has been an
area favored for the cultivation of oysters of superior quality and taste
since the days when mainland Native American Indians would summer on it’s
shores. Since as far back as the
1880’s, Pipes Cove has been one of the prime oyster producing areas, chosen
by local bay men, at a time when oyster cultivation in Long Island’s Peconic
bay first began. In addition…
during the height of Long Island’s oyster industry, Pipes Cove has provided a
shellfish without equal.  The reason for such
a consistent superior product is simple! Pipes cove is
surrounded by the richest of tidal wetlands which produce concentrated
nutrient levels not found in other locations. Oysters (crassostrea
virginica) are filter feeders and the
more food the better the oyster. Just add a stronger tidal flow of cooler
water year round and the formula for a great cultivated oyster is complete.
Pipes Cove Oysters unique flavor and plumpness are the result of an
unequalled growing location. Today…Pipes Cove
still consistently provides the finest oyster in Eastern Long Island’s shell
fishing industry. Available
in fine restaurants from Manhattan to Long Island’s East End! Additional Information
