Peaks Island Shellfish Company offers up consistently fresh, locally grown and caught shellfish. The key to this start-up's success is its emphasis on proven aquaculture techniques. However, Peaks Island Shellfish takes it a step further with its commitment to not using any antibiotics or growth hormones in their farming practices. Instead, their shellfish is grown through the filtering of quality, nutritious phytoplankton found locally in the Gulf of Maine's cold, fresh salt water. As a result, customers enjoy some of the best, top rate clams, mussels and oysters to be found anywhere in the Portland area or the larger New England region. No wonder that Peaks Island Shellfish Company has become a favorite with seafood lovers within the greater Portland community.
