Wildcat Cove Oysters

WILDCAT COVE OYSTERS - (Crassostrea gigas) 

Available: Year Round  

Packed in 5 and 10 dz. units ~3" in length. 

These are great beach raised, triploid pacific oysters  from the cool waters down near the big bend of the Hood Canal in Washington State.  These waters are fed by the run off from the Olympic Mountains and are some of the most prolific oyster growing beaches in the state.   These oysters are harvested and transported immediately to Penn Cove where they are wet stored until the time of sale.  They have the characteristic fluted, hard shell of a beach raised oyster and are graded to a market size of about three inches. This oyster has a clean, deep cupped shell, while the meat on the inside has a light salinity; it is crisp and the same time perfect with a glass of Pinot Gris or Pilsner.
