Pleasure House Oysters 
I had some of those Lynnhaven oysters. It’s great to see the their return!
Chris, Thoroughly enjoyed your thoughts and your oysters at last evening’s State of the Bay forum! Paul Johnson VB
I had the chance to eat some of these Lynnhaven Oysters a couple weeks ago at an event . The oysters were outstanding and the whole operation is first class.
Hi Chris, here’s the write-up on the November 2013 Merroir Terroir at Terrapin: http://www.i-heart-food.com/blog/merroirterroirnov2013
Good morning sir — your Oyster Tasting event at Terrapin yesterday (10 Dec 13) was awesome — Donna and I thoroughly enjoyed the local history / knowledge … although I might have to attend again to start to understand all that you went through with us … 🙂 That is another way of saying we WILL be back —thanks again and please put us on your email list for future events. Terrapin is a great place as well — lead chef / staff / Bryan out front with wine knowledge — great Team effort!
All the best always
Donna and walt
PS —Sent note to wrong place yesterday (Lynnhaven Oyster) and also sent an old “oyster” picture —send me an email address and will send that —I don’t see a place here to attach / embed a picture —thanks!
Congratulations on your continued success! Let’s Grow!

I’ve had the Lynnhaven oysters,and there is nothing to compare them too,still big and salty like they where back in the 60’s
Dear Mr Ledford: I’ve enjoyed your website and I’ve had your oysters at A.W. Shucks. They seem to do a very good job there! Good shucking by Jamie. I’d love to take tour and could easily find others interested. Yes, I’d love to take your tour and check out the farm. Waterman and Tasting tours. I do live on the water and would like to grow in a float but I would not expect that I could do what the pros do. I’m a very avid consumer and find shucking pleasurable (I don’t have to do it for a living!!). I’ve always wanted to attend a Terrapin oyster tasting but seem to always find out after the fact. I’m sure they fill up quite quickly!! I’m a fan of size and brine!! Thanks. arthur j goldman
What a fantastic farm and operation! We had the pleasure of taking a tour with Chris and had an amazing experience. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to his craft. It’s clear that Pleasure House is committed to environmental responsibility and sustainability – and these oysters are the tastiest I’ve ever had!
Very interesting suggestions about Oysters, but you forgot to mention the beautiful selection of these delicassies in the Pacific Ocean: Kumamotos from California & Oregon, Oysters from Quilacum, B.C. in Canada and the best in the WORLD; oysters from Chiloe Island in Chile. Try to taste raw oysters with just a few drops of lemon juice, and you will taste Heaven!
I used to buy your oysters from ‘Uncle Chuck’ Macin, are they available anywhere at retail? Or just restaurants? Thanks.
Hi Larry. Thanks for asking! We focus on our restaurants, our Tours and some events.
Took a great Oyster tour of the Pleasure House reef with Chris and his First Mate, Carson, on Saturday May 20th.
Great tour! Educational, fun and great oysters, too.
Highly recommended.
