Fishing M alpeque O ysters In Prince E dward Island
“Mah e xplains h ow in different Magazine a rticle b y, Carson C had Marchbank

December t hat t hey are t he Best

Of oysters b ecause they fatten up i n
the c older weather l eading t o a
beautiful M alpeque c hoice o yster.”
On t he M alpeque Oyster:
Though the northwestern end of the i sland is called M alpeque, “all oysters f ound o n
PEI are c onsidered t he Malpeque v ariety,” (Mah). O ysters s tart o ut as s pat, tiny
shellfish a bout t he size of a quarter t hat a ttach to a solid s urface, l ike a larger oyster.
“It’s i llegal to b ring in spat with m ature oysters. T hey h ave t o be completely c leaned
off o n t he boat and p ut r ight b ack into t he sea,” ( Mah). I t t akes f our t o s even y ears f or
an o yster to reach maturity—that’s a bout three i nches l ong. “ Oysters like a h ard
bottom s urface,” (Mah). “But t he bigger they g et, t he more r oom t hey need to grow.
The b est o ysters grow s lowly, w ithout c rowding.” M alpeques a re sold i n three sizes:
small c hoice, l arge choice, a nd extra-large choice. (CBC news)
On W ild Oyster F ishery:
The island’s oysters a re fished f rom the w ild, using a 1 5-foot d ory or b igger and a
pair o f long-handled o yster tongs t hat e nd i n r ake-like teeth. T he f isherman leans
over t he s ide o f t he boat a nd d rops t he tongs into t he w ater, closing them at t he
bottom o f the bed to capture a s mall q uantity o ysters mixed w ith mud a nd seaweed.
He then d rags the c losed tongs up t hrough t he water a nd d eposits t he c ache o n t he
prow o f t he boat. “Oyster tongs are t he o nly legal w ay to f ish o ysters on p ublic water
in PEI,” (Mah) I t’s “ very l abor intensive,” s low, and p ainstaking work—each load
collects o nly a f ew oysters—requiring
strength and agility. “A public f isherman
spends eight, ten hours out o n t he w ater
every d ay, dredging, s orting, d redging.”
(Mah). ( CBC n ews)
“This is M ah fishing i n public g rounds i n
Prince Edward Island, she s ays public
fisherman u sually spend e ight to ten
hours a d ay o ut on t he w ater. T hey also h ave a n e arly m orning schedule m ost
fisherman wake u p between 4am a nd 5am, Mah explains.”
Working t he Leases:
During the summer, Mah and Phyllis h eads o ut in t he dory once o r twice a d ay t o fish
the leases, and turn the b eds o ver. “In the w armer m onths, t he l eases need t o b e
worked everyday t o m aintain t hem,” ( Phyllis). Winter brings a dormant p eriod. “We
don’t work t he l eases then,” ( Phyllis). “ Everything freezes over from D ecember t o
March, and w hen t he water gets v ery c old, t he oysters lock t heir shells a nd s tay
closed.” (CBC n ews)
“Ya g otta work and d o t hings proper
or the t hings w ill n ot t urn out. Says
Phyllis.’’ ( Mah’s b oyfriend).
Oyster B ed Politics:
Prince Edward I sland’s l andscape is
defined by the gulf—the water not
only s urrounds the l and, i t also
reaches into i t i n n arrow i nlets a nd
ponds, c reating clean, cold p ools
that oysters love. Many o f these areas a re considered “ public w ater,” ( Phyllis), and
fishing them “ is strictly governed, requiring a f ish-specific l icense,” which i s l imited,
expensive, and h ard t o o btain. The i sland also has o yster beds—called
“leases”—which are b odies of w ater r ented from the federal government. Carr’s
maintains f ive leases. T hey b uy oysters f rom fisherman on t he public water, a nd
transfer the s hellfish to their beds at S tanley B ridge, w here they g row p lump and
clean. ( CBC n ews)
Best Quality Malpeque Oyster:
Though enjoying s hellfish only in m onths w ith a n “ r” i s “ kind o f a myth,” ( Phyllis),
she t hinks t he “fattest, best q uality oysters” are f ound in O ctober, November, and
December. “ Oysters h ibernate—like bears,” s he
says. “They fatten up d uring t he w armer
months, a nd hibernate d uring the w inter.” I n
March a nd April, “they’re coming off their
winter sleep s o t hey’re g etting thin and w eak,
waiting f or t he w arm w ater t o feed.” B y autumn,
they’re plump and d elicious—just i n t ime f or
the h oliday s eason.
Philip s hucked t wo f resh oysters for Mah and she ate them
right away, straight from the sea. They were briny a nd
delicate, t he o cean-temperature flesh s weeter a nd w armer
than o ysters s erved o n a bed of ice. Fishing a nd e ating
them w as o ne o f the b est moments o f my life. ( CBC news)
