Even in the depths of winter, New Brunswick’s oyster farmers are out on the water—hauling gear, checking lines, and doing the steady, hands-on work it takes to grow world-class oysters. ❄️🦪
This video offers a behind-the-scenes look at Mallet Oysters in Shippigan, New Brunswick. It showcases life on the bay during the coldest months, where experience, resilience, and a deep connection to the water shape every harvest.
