Nestled in the elbow of Duxbury Bay, Eagle's Nest Oysters calls home to waters that have sustained generations of fishermen. This unique location along the mudflats creates a natural habitat where fresh water from nearby springs mingles with the salt water of Duxbury Bay, crafting the perfect environment for exceptional oysters.

Steve Gilbert, a Duxbury native and quintessential fisherman, discovered his calling on the water at a very young age. For thirty years, he fished, netted, captured and raked his way through the bay's bounty, providing a variety of fish and mollusks to local seafood retailers. In 2003, he pivoted his expertise toward oyster farming in the bay he calls home, transforming his lifelong passion into a dedicated craft.

Working alongside a devoted crew in the shallow waters of his farm, Steve tends to the oysters through an 18-month growing process that demands continuous attention and careful rotation of crops. From tiny seeds grown in specially designed upwellers to hand-harvested mature oysters, every step reflects his commitment to quality. As Steve puts it, he was never built for a 9-5 office job, and for him, there's no better place to be than working these special waters that produce some of the most flavorful oysters along the South Shore coastline.
