Processing Facilities
In order to bring the highest quality Goose Point Oysters to our customers, harvested shellfish are our new 15,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art oyster processing plant on the banks of the Niawiakum River in Willapa Bay.
Our HACCP certified plant is considered a model facility in the industry by the Federal Food and Drug Administration and the Washington State Department of Health, Shellfish Division - two agencies that inspect our plant on a regular basis.
Our plant is one of six plants in Washington State licensed to export oysters to Japan. A High Hydrostatic Pressure processor built by Flow International Corporation was installed in early 2001 making Nisbet Oyster Company the first west coast processor to employ High Pressure technology for developing oyster products.
Once the plant receives oysters they are inspected, cleaned then prepared and packaged in a variety of ways prior to shipping:
- Live in the shell (Single stock)
- Hand shucked product (Open stock)
- Oyster shooters
- High Pressure Processed (Fresher Under Pressure)
