Aggressively tide-tumbled at the Hama Hama oyster farm on the delta of the Hamma Hamma River. The result: Deep cup, full meat, gentle flavor. This is many people’s favorite oyster.

Deep cupped, sweet, consistent size and shape. One of the upper echelon west coast varieties. Clean and refreshing. A nice oyster
Texture and size is spot on. They came off as a tad sweet at first but after trying a few others variations we settled on these as our favorites. We tried them at Walrus and Carpenter in Ballard WA.
In June a buddy and I traveled to WA state —up, across, and down Puget Sound , travelling over 500 miles in the process, and visiting 4 oyster farms and processing plants.
I have to say that speaking “raw”–the best I tasted were the Blue Pools from Hama Hama Co. in Lilliwaup, WA.
Their grilled Hama Hamas were of course, delicious.
Tuesday a group of six of us will sample the fare at Kimball House in Decatur, GA which features raw bar oysters from everywhere.
Same buddy and I are going to Maine to visit Nonesuch Oyster Farm, south of Portland this month. More then.
Another great NW oyster. Super solid addition to our ever evolving lineup. Real crowd pleaser, has enough salinity to please die hard East Coast oyster lovers. Has been a surprising treat to our guests.
I love these oysters. Absolutely beautiful and delicious. Hard work goes into these and much of the delight comes from just holding such a gem.
One of my all-time faves. Sleek, sporty shells and spicy-cucumber meats make this one of the great tumbled oysters on the planet.
