Island Creek

Skip Bennett was raised in the Island Creek neighborhood of Duxbury.  The son of a lobsterman, Skip spent years working on our Bay digging mussels, razor clams, and steamers. After college in the early 1990’s he bought some of New England’s earliest clam seed from a hatchery on Cape Cod and decided to try his hand at growing quahogs—he was hooked.

Island Creek now operates one of the only shellfish hatcheries in the Northeast, out of Duxbury and Portland Maine.
