Serving Up Superior Shellfish
Whether you’re serving up mussels in a white wine broth or raw oysters with a dash of lemon, the shellfish you offer has got to be fresh. Which is why Halperns’ is proud to partner with Atlantic Aqua Farms, one of North America’s largest sources of high-quality mussels, branded oysters, and fresh clams.
For more than 35 years, Atlantic Aqua Farms has been dedicated to sourcing and delivering premium shellfish from the North Atlantic shore right to your door. Their hands-on process ensures quality every step of the way, from expert aquaculture operations to expedited delivery.
Earth-Friendly Farming
Atlantic Aqua Farms is owned by The Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, which invests in companies focused on sustainability. Special care goes into their farming practices to protect the environment and the quality of their shellfish. To ensure their shellfish is toxin-free, they only farm in clean, approved coastal waters, choosing to use farming methods with low impact on the environment, and allowing mussels and oysters to be fed naturally by mother nature.
