What are Blue Point Oysters?

Authentic “Blue Point Oysters” are grown on boutique farms on the Great South Bay, Long Island. They are hand sorted, and grown in floating bags that use the tide and wave action to tumble them. This growing technique creates a deep cupped shell with clean plump meat.

Maris Stella Blue Points

Maris Stella allows their oysters to take on their natural shape, providing them with sufficient space for unencumbered growth in swiftly flowing water. Their Oysters are endowed with robust suite of mineral flavors, and a lipid profile derived from the plankton rich waters of Great South Bay. 

Sustainability

Adult oysters can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day.

Oysters filter water as they eat, which helps clarify the water and remove certain pollutants, including nitrogen. This is very important to a marine ecosystem, because excessive nitrogen triggers algal blooms that deplete the water of oxygen and create “dead zones.”

Oyster reefs provide habitat for hundreds of species, as well as providing a natural storm barrier.
