Meaty, salty and oceany. Not quite as sweet as the name had me thinking. Firm flesh.
Tasty session oyster of avg size and salt, complete as-is or with a few drops lemon, or champagne vinegar granita at Shaw’s oyster bar, Chicago
Had these in February in Montreal–a notoriously tough time for Maritime oysters. They were excellent–lots of rich, brothy umami depth, and pretty firm. I’m skeptical of the existence of an actual Gooseberry Bay on PEI–this is the same island that has named its oysters Raspberry Point and Blackberry Point–but the oysters speak for themselves.
