A PNW Favorite
Located five minutes from the I-5 Peace Arch / Douglas Border Crossings and over-looking Georgia Strait, Drayton Harbor Oyster Co. offers a signature Maritime dining experience featuring our namesake Oysters, grown on our farm less than a mile away.
It’s what we do…
Over the years Drayton Harbor Oyster Co., has developed a beautiful collaborative partnership with Mother Nature. We pair our unique artisan oyster culture techniques with the energy and structure of the natural environment to custom produce richly delicious Pacific oysters with specific characteristics for each of our Restaurant Menu items.
Although Pacific oysters (Crasostrea gigas) are native to Japan, they love the waters of the Pacific Northwest. They are the most common oyster species grown on the west coast. The naming and branding in the oyster world is a bit bonkers, so we just roll with Draytons: tide-tumbled, Drayton Harbor Pacifics.

🍁 Hi, Neighbour! Welcome to the Lower Mainland’s Local Oyster Farm!
Surprise! It’s true! We are indeed the lower mainland’s most geographically local oyster farm, located on the edge of Shared Waters. And we’re a minute detour from the Peace Arch / Douglas border crossings.
Did you know? Shellfish are easily transported across the border. And you literally cannot get oysters that are more local and more fresh. Come taste the difference for yourself! Oysters are packed on ice and bagged in waterproof thermal bags that make bringing home live seafood a breeze.
Dark Harbor - Oyster Stout, Atwood Ale
This “black ale with bivalves” is a collaboration with Atwood Ales, whose farm and brewery lie just 2 miles directly east of the DHO's Oyster Farm. Atwood uses our whole oysters — shell, meat and brine — in the kettle. The resulting beer features a subtle, underlying caramel wave that carries a slight brininess all the way to the roasty shores of barley town. In the fall and winter, major low tides occur at night, leaving us local oyster farmers to brave the “Dark Harbor” to work the tide flats and harvest their bounty. Thanks Josh and Atwood for this fabulous fixture on our taps.
