For the Raw Bar and Kitchen

Chefs should request the current grade and availability rather than relying on a permanent size promise.

Farm and Harvest Method

Willapa Wild uses off-bottom growing systems and does not dredge for harvest. Learn more about our nondredging approach and why we work this way.

Handling, Traceability and Receiving

Live shellstock requires regulated harvest, transport and refrigeration practices. Professional receivers should inspect shipments, maintain required shellstock identification and records, and follow applicable food-safety requirements. See Handling and Cold Chain.

Ordering and Delivery

Our wholesale program targets arrival within 48 hours of harvest on eligible, confirmed routes. Freight connections, harvest conditions, receiving hours and last-mile capacity determine whether that target is available for a particular customer.
