Hama Hama Oysters
Hama Hama Oysters grow the old fashioned way, directly on the gravel where our namesake river flows out of the Olympic Mountains and into Hood Canal. Exposed twice a day by the outgoing tide, they're slow-growing, beach-hardened, and known for a clean, crisp flavor with a sweet finish that evokes melon rind or cucumber. Highly seasonal, Hama Hama tend to be sweeter in the spring and brinier in the fall and winter.
“It’s a frontier oyster, its gnarly, gray-green shell mirroring the misty fir forests that shroud the river all the way down to Hood Canal.”– Rowan Jacobsen, Culture + Travel

Hama Hama,
Our first oysters of the season quite nice, briny, easy to open. I am waiting for the blue pools to get a little bigger. I see they are now available. Best oysters in North America.
We have had lovely oysters at the Hama Hama Oyster location in Washington. I thought for my spouse's birthday I would order a pack instead of driving out to the coast. It arrived the day before the birthday as they recommended and we opened it and kept it in the fridge just as suggested. Unfortunately by the time we went to eat them, six had died. For the price we paid, we didn’t expect to lose that many. We will stick to getting our oysters when we are at the coast in the future.
We treat ourselves and our guest with Hama Hama Seafood. We had a perfect party with friends and family – and were overwhelmed with the positive comments we got on choice of seafood and the freshness.
So delicious and happy to be a repeat customer.
Arrived in Wisconsin. Fresh and tasty.
Loved having Hama Hama oysters as a break while Coho fishing at the end of September. Pretty awesome!
