Foodservice Professionals

PCSGA growers are dedicated to producing consistently high-quality product for foodservice professionals. In fact, The West Coast is the leading producer of farmed shellfish in the United States.

Pacific Coast shellfish are grown in clean, clear water, certified under the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP), a stringent set of standards operated under the Food and Drug Administration. Regular monitoring is required to maintain certification of shellfish beds.

After harvest, shellfish are transported to a processing facility where they are processed, bagged or boxed, and placed under temperature control prior to and during shipping. Strict protocol governs the entire handling process to ensure that you receive the highest quality, freshest shellfish.
