Established in 1992, Wild Atlantic Shellfish started as a marketing company owned and operated by shellfish farmers in Sligo Bay. Over a decade later, in 2015, it was reactivated and renamed Wild Atlantic Shellfish Ltd.

The company's core business is the marketing of live oysters cultivated by the oyster farmers in Sligo Bay.
The oysters are then packed in a variety of options for distribution to both foodservice and retail customers and exported to Europe by sea and road, and by air freight to other destinations in Asia, Canada, etc.
