WATCH: Greenport Oyster Farmer Talks Shop

Mike Osinski spoke with LITV about his oyster operation in Greenport.

When Mike Osinski moved to Greenport, one thing he didn't expect was to walk into a deed giving him the rights to four acres of underwater land. But that's what happened when, while applying for a dock, he realized that he owned more land than he thought he did.

The result was Widow's Hole Oyster Company, Osinski's oyster harvesting operation which now sells more than a ton of oysters per week into the New York City restaurant market.

"This is a world class product," said Osinski, a former Greenport Trustee, calling the bay an "underutilized resource."
