The Temporary Lobster Room
It wasn't just the Oyster Room we lost in the fire but our water treatment plant which meant that our indoor lobster tanks and crab tanks had no water supply anymore.
The Oyster Village
We lost our Oyster Room in the fire last year, which was tricky as we are an oyster farm, so we have built a temporary oyster village.
Fire Update - A look inside the Fishery
We have been slow to update about the fire for no other reason than we have been flat out getting back up and running, but we thought it was time to see the Fishery.

Storing Oysters in Summer
