Eel Town Oysters been working on the water in the Peconic Bays for over 30 years. Their oysters are grown in the pristine waters near Jessup Neck in Noyack Bay at the intersection of Shelter Island Sound. They chose the name EEL TOWN OYSTERS in “honor of the sacred space on Shelter Island that is Eel Town.”

According to Eel Town Oysters, “Like John Tut’s Hill and the many vistas that make living on Shelter Island a unique pleasure, Eel Town has the remembrance
of things past.”

The Kouris Family owns and operates Blue Duck Bakery Cafe in two locations, with a wholesale production facility that delivers artisan breads and more from Montauk to Manhattan. Husband and wife, Keith and Nancy Kouris, and their three hardworking children, Christina, Noelle and Anthony, opened the first bakery cafe in Southampton Village in 1999.

Their bakery is proud to offer the finest quality pastries and cakes, as well as their signature line of artisan breads. Their style is “traditional, eclectic, and reminiscent of a time when village bakeries existed on Main Street in every town on Long Island.”

Their bakery products are made fresh daily on site, under the expertise and direct guidance of Keith Kouris, a master baker with more than 40 years of experience and a graduate of the French Culinary Institute’s International Bread Baking Program.
