Matheson Oyster Co.

First time Landlocked attendees, producers of renowned Wavelengths, and female-owned company, Matheson Oyster Co! Fresh from Mobjack Bay, Virginia, Matheson Oysters receives direct currents from the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean, providing a balanced medium salinity and brine unique to their farm. The farm itself resembles an underwater vineyard with support structures holding cables across the top of the water column, where the cylinder-shaped baskets rock back and forth as the tide goes up and down. This growing method keeps the oysters in constant motion, naturally tumbling them to create a deep cup with clean shells.

Named after this unique growing method, Wavelengths are a classic 3” half shell oyster. They are salty up front with a sweet note, helping them stand apart from other oysters. Their unique taste is present, but never overpowering.
