Bordered on the east by PEI National Park and sheltered from the Gulf of St. Lawrence by great sand dunes, New London has long been an important oyster harvesting region. It is a large and complex system hosting dozens of rivers and streams. The principal inflows are the Hope and Stanley Rivers from the east and the Southwest River that empties into the northern corner of the bay. They all reach deep into the scenic countryside through an extensive network of tributaries.

The New London region has occasional wild harvesting but most of the oyster production comes from private leases. Many of the oldest leases are traditional bottom leases where select oysters are set to mature. These leases can have generational pedigrees and are a source of some of the Island\u2019s most prized specimens.

The extensive surface culturing that occurs throughout the region has developed over the last twenty years. These well-kept oyster farms employ the latest technology and allow near-maximum production.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The oysters harvested from this broad and varied region on the North Shore of PEI naturally exhibit different characteristics. Those grown on the bottom are usually forest green with rusty brown highlights. The surface leases usually produce a beige to rusty-brown shell. The meats have an appealing, briny flavour with refreshing earthy notes.

L&C Fisheries is located off the scenic French River within the New London region. The company processes oysters harvested from private leases within the Southwest River. Situated in the heart of Anne\u2019s Land, the region that inspired LM Montgomery’s famous novel, Anne of Green Gables, the company markets their oysters as Green Gables Oysters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Raspberry Point Oysters, located just outside of Cavendish, packs a variety of oyster brands sourced from its leases in the New London and Rustico regions. The company also sources products from growers across the Island. From a couple of boxes of seed oysters settled into the mouth of the Hope River in the 1990s, the company has grown to be the Island\u2019s largest producer. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
