Special Comments:  Tom’s Cove Aquafarm (TCA) proudly presents our all natural, aquacultured clams and oysters.  TCA performs all aquaculture stages, from spawning to field grow-out to ensure top quality products.  Clams and oysters are spawned from native Tom’s Cove brood stock (when possible).  Later the young are moved to nursery tanks fed by fresh seawater, then to the field to grow to maturity.  When harvested, the shellfish spend a short time in above-bottom floats, which enables them to naturally purge themselves of sand, making them grit-free. This results in fresh, great tasting products.
Products:  Fresh Chincoteague clams and oysters, sold wholesale and retail.
