I picked up my oysters at their “business” location”. To see where the oysters are actually grown and to meet the people, Brian and Jay, the farmers who grow them, was truly exciting for the oyster fanatic and the uberSLURPER. It was a happy experience for one who usually gets their oysters from a FEDEX truck. BTW: needless-to-say, great oysters, great salinity, good size. Perfect timing for the holidays!!!!
A Stalwart of mid-Atlantic oyster community. Excellent availability throughout the year. Decent size with a sweet brine and fatty meat.
As others have commented, briny, plump, and sweet. Additionally, a good size. These weren’t so large that they completely filled the mouth. Instead, they were just large enough to nicely fill without my mouth feeling overstuffed. It have me the opportunity to savor the taste, feeling, and finish. Great oyster.
Plump, briny and delicious
One of the best things to come out of NJ.
One of my all time favorites.
Very nice oyster this far south (yes, Cape May is pretty far south when it comes to quality oysters). Briny and sweet at the same time, with a pleasant, creamy, texture.
My all time favorite. The perfect combo of briny and creamy. Proud that they’re from my home state.
Huge fan of the consistency/mouth feel and sweet finish.
