We believe that every Resident of Virginia Beach, as well as the many tourists that the city relies on, deserves to have a delicious, fresh, and clean Lynnhaven oyster anytime and anywhere they like.
A small, family-owned, veteran-led business in Virginia Beach. Three brothers, Bruce, Craig, and Bay McLaughlin, all raised in Virginia Beach, continue their family’s oyster growing and restoration tradition that started in 2004.
When English settlers first landed at present-day Cape Henry, an exploration team came upon a most delicious discovery: large, plump oysters being roasted in an open fire first near the mouth of the Lynnhaven Bay.
Described as “very large and delicate in taste,” by diarist George Percy on April 27, 1607, those words hold true today for the much-celebrated bivalve. Indeed, the Lynnhaven oyster has enjoyed worldwide recognition.
Those tastes and traditions of America’s First Oyster® continue today with Lynnhaven Legacies and Lynnhaven Fancies® from First Landing Seafood company.
words we live by
-
eat well.
Life is short. There’s no reason to eat anything less than the best. We believe that fresh, local, sustainable seafood is about as good as it gets.
-
Do good.
Let’s face it, our decisions have consequences. When we can, we should support sustainable businesses. We always plant more oysters than you eat. You can rest assured that you’re doing good for mother nature when eating our oysters.
-
Be Fancy.
By eating our oysters, you are not only indulging in the best oysters on Earth but also building up the local oyster supply. Is there anything fancier than that? So raise a bivalve (and a glass) and enjoy!
