Baywater Shellfish
About Baywater Shellfish
Dr. Joth Davis and his wife Karen founded Baywater in 1990 to grow shellfish while protecting Thorndyke Bay and Hood Canal. Indigo is grown on the Hood Head farm of Blue Dot Sea Farms, which calls Baywater a close friend and affiliate farm and says Baywater markets the oyster exclusively to restaurants.
