Deter boys breaking up seafood location (6,3)

I believe the answer is:

oyster bed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seafood location' is the definition.
'oyster bed' can be an answer for 'location' (oyster bed is a kind of location). I am unsure of the 'seafood' bit.

'deter boys breaking up' is the wordplay.
'breaking up' is an anagram indicator.
'deter'+'boys'='deterboys'
'deterboys' with letters rearranged gives 'OYSTER-BED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for oyster bed that I've seen before include "seafood supplier" , "Source of pearls" , "A source of seafood" , "breeding ground" , "stew, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
