Description

 

A perfectly sized oyster for those just beginning to discover one of nature's best kept secrets. This 2.5-3 inch extra small oyster, is just the right sized to taste and yet full of a fresh, briny and crisp flavor to leave one desiring more. This little oyster is grown on the cobble beaches of the Puget Sound in the heart of oyster country. Harvested at approximately two years of age, it has a round and deep cup and is flush with meat. The intertidal culture process leaves this young oyster with a good hardened shell which is perfect for shucking.
