7 GENERATIONS OF SHELLFISHING
For over 7 generations the same family line has been harvesting oysters and clams from Long Island Sound, bringing over 200 years of expertise and quality to each and every catch.
With 55 years working in the industry himself, in 2006 Captain Dave Hopp decided to start his own one-boat shop, naming it Bell’s Shellfish after his grandfather, Captain Wallace Bell, who passed along his immense knowledge of the aquaculture of The Sound and love for the clamming and oystering industry.
Bell’s Shellfish has since grown to 5 boats and a grandfather working alongside his grandsons daily.
Bell’s Shellfish proudly harvests clams and Stratford Point Oysters year round.
