April is Oyster Month

Let's Shell-ebrate!

Oysters are in prime condition during the colder months before warmer waters encourage them to use energy resources to spawn. That's why we are "shell"-ebrating the begining of spring with oysters!

Why is April the BEST Month for Oysters?

April is a special time on the canal — the waters are crisp, the tides are rich with life, and oysters are at their absolute best. Plump, briny, and bursting with flavor, these local delicacies are harvested from the pristine waters of Hood Canal, offering a true taste of the Pacific Northwest.

Join us as we celebrate the season with the freshest oysters, perfectly paired with coastal views and a glass of crisp white wine. Whether enjoyed raw, grilled, or with a squeeze of lemon, there’s no better way to welcome spring.

Come experience the magic of oyster season — nature’s perfect bite, right here at Alderbrook Resort & Spa.
