If you’re looking to buy fresh shellfish directly from the source or explore shellfish farms along the East Coast, the East Coast Shellfish Growers Association offers a valuable and easy-to-use resource. Their interactive map on ecsga.org helps connect consumers with shellfish and kelp growers, dealers, and farm-based businesses across the region.

The “Where Can I Buy Shellfish or Find Farm Tours?” section allows users to search for nearby farms and vendors offering oysters, clams, mussels, and kelp. Many listings go beyond retail sales, with options that include farm tours, catering services, on-site farm stands, and participation in local farmers markets. The map also includes categories for online purchasing, delivery, and pick-up options.

Search results can be filtered by distance, product type, or service, making it easy for both locals and visitors to discover fresh, responsibly grown seafood while supporting small coastal farms and working waterfronts.

In addition to sourcing shellfish, ECSGA also provides educational resources for home cooks, including oyster shucking videos and recipe ideas to help bring the experience from farm to table. Whether you’re planning a visit, hosting a gathering, or simply curious about where your seafood comes from, this tool is a great place to start.
