Oysters have been fished from Whitstable Bay since Roman times to date.
First incorporated by an Act of Parliment in 1793 as the "Company of Free Fishers and Dredgers of Whitstable"; the Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company's Oyster Farm covers an area of inter-tidal waters at Whitstable Bay, near the seaside town of Whitstable, Kent, England.
Whistable Bay is part of the Swale River Estuary. At the shallow tidal waters of the Swale River Estuary, the freshwater of the Swale River mixes with the saltwater of the North Sea. The Swale River is a Designated Special Protection Area and a National Nature Reserve.
The Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company owns several restaurants and hotels in the area: Royal Native Oyster Stores (the world famous seafood restaurant that overlooks Whitstable Oyster Fam), The Lobster Shack, The Forge, Hotel Continental, and East Quay Venue.
Whitstable Pacific and Native Oysters are featured on menus at top oyster bars and restaurants in Whitstable, London and overseas.
The Whitstable Oyster Festival is held at the seaside town of Whitstable in July each year. This popular festival attracts tens of thousands of people, who enjoy oysters, local food and drink, live music, entertainment and activities.
