Live in Shell, Atlantic & Pacific
Atlantic Oysters have a beautiful "crunch" that finishes light and rich. Salinity levels are location specific, but typically saltier than the Pacific. The shell is tapered, beautifully round and relatively consistent in shape.
Rich, Briny, Sweet
"Farmed" oysters are deeper, rounder and more consistent than a wild oyster. Almost every farming technique has a benefit to shell hardness, meat texture, shelf life, shape, and shell appearance. Much can be examined in this section on flavor variances, meat texture , shell shape and color, and locational marketability, but we feel that the best education on these things is trial and success. Pacific Oysters have a tendency to contain complex flavors such as mineral, grass, and cucumber with a complex, melon brine paired with understated nuance unique to the mineral make up of the Pacific Ocean. The shell tends to be fluted from the strong tidal activity of the Pacific.
