Hi everyone! We’ve had to make a last minute switch to our plans for the upcoming Celebrate Hoodsport Festival. The firework display will now take place on Sunday July 3rd and not Saturday the 2nd, as previously scheduled. Please spread the word and we hope that you can all make it out on the 3rd. We have a great lineup of fireworks, and a new and improved music program to go along with them!
Announcing the Hama Hama Oyster Rama!
Come celebrate the tideflats on Saturday, May 21st at the first ever Hama Hama Oyster Rama! From noon until 6 pm we’ll be leading tours of the tideflats, participating in intertidal scavenger hunts, eating all sorts of delicious shellfish, and competing in Shuckathalon, the world’s first intertidal oyster sports competition. The menu includes raw Hama Hama and Blue Pool oysters on the half shell, fried Hama Hama crab cakes, steamed clams and oysters, pan fried oysters, and more! There will be a beer garden featuring beer from Shelton-based Grove Street Brewery and cider from Chimacum’s Finnriver Cidery, live music from Union-based band Sideways Reign, catering by Smokin Mo’s of Union, hand-dipped Olympic Mountain Ice Cream, and demonstrations by local artists. At 1:30 we’ll all gather on the shore to watch amateur oystermen & women compete in the four Shuckathalon heats: cluster picking, clam digging, single picking, and (of course!) oyster shucking.
This all-ages event is a fundraiser for the Hood Canal Education Foundation. Admission costs $10 per person and is free for kids age 12 and under. Ticket price does not include food or drink. Tickets are available at the Grove Street Brew Pub in Shelton (233 S. 1st Street), at the Hama Hama Seafood Store (12 miles north of Hoodsport on Hwy 101), online at www.hamahamastore.com, or via telephone at 888-877-5844. Tickets are limited so we strongly recommend you purchase them ahead of time.
If you’re coming from out of town and want to stay the night, check out The Waterfront at Potlatch because they’re offering 10% discounts on Saturday May 21st to Rama attendees.
For more information please call the seafood store at 888-877-5844 or visit the Hama Hama oyster blog at www.hamahamaoysters.com/blog. If you’re feeling up to it, you could also register a team in the Shuckathalon competition, and put your oystering skills to the test!
Be a culinary explorer!
From March through the end of May Seattle Dining is organizing a culinary scavenger hunt on the Olympic Peninsula designed to give people a first-hand look at where Olympic Coastal Cuisine comes from.
Here’s how it works: You register on Seattle Dining! and receive an adventure packet for $4.95. In the packet you’ll find a list of the 12 attractions included in the scavenger hunt together with discount coupons, trivia questions you’ll need to answer, and extra goodies. You get points for every location you visit, and gift certificates will be given out to top-scoring contestants. If you visit all 12 locations (and have the photos to prove it!) you’ll be entered to win a free 2 night stay at The Resort at Port Ludlow, complete with a coupon for a cooking class with The Resort’s head chef Dan Ratigan.
The Hama Hama Seafood Store is on the list of places to visit, and we have our eyes peeled for culinary explorers. To learn more about the competition and to register visit the Seattle Dining webpage, here.
Good luck!

The Waterfront at Potlatch is located next door to the Saltwater Park boat launch. The launch has 3 ramps and has been extended a year ago to provide easier access during low tides.
We welcome shrimpers staying at our resort free access to our 3 buoys to avoid the hassle of launching and retrieving your boats.
Be sure you have all legal documents for your boat, trailer, gear and shell fish license.
