It might be the batch it got at the restaurant I was at but these had no flavor.
I have recently been offered by several restaurants to purchase the Duxbury XL oysters. I would describe the first taste as silky. Has a sweet brine flavor with an obvious buttery finish. Has become one of my favorites.
Picked up two dozen from Chula Seafood, in Phoenix AZ. Very briny. The bigger they were, the sweeter they were.

I got a dozen big, plump oysters. VERY briny, but flavorful.
Love. Perfect. Will order anytime I see them. Britney and beautiful. Reminded me of fin de claire and Huitrerie Regis in Paris. Love.
We are visiting Boston for an Oysters and Red Sox weekend. So, we went to one of our favorite places, Summer Shack and with a few cold Saisons, we sampled and documented our favorites. The Duxbury, by far the best.
Close tie for second, the Spearpoints from Marthas Vineyard and the South Bay Blondes from Dennis.
These are great oysters for just about any occasion. Fantastic briny flavor typically housed in a deep cup with plenty of brine/liquor.
For us, this has been a regular at our local bar and is a good representative of the Cape Cod oyster, I believe. The Duxbury is like an old, reliable friend.
