Very plump oyster encompassing nearly the entire smallish shell. Low salinity but very creamy and buttery. Nice to have when mixed with high brine varieties.
Very mild oysters with melon rind flavors. Almost no salinity or brine of any sort. Nice creaminess, but all in all, too mild for want to order again. I actually needed to add condiments to finish the plate, which is extraordinarily rare.
Size: medium-large
Sweet: 7 sweetness of sea lettuce/ cucumber brine
Mild: 6 creamy and full bodied
Briny: 3 briny seas on the back end. Gentle sail
Bold: 3 not aggressive but well balanced, light metallic back end with a soft brine
Well balanced. Clean and easy from start to finish. Combination of sweetness at the start.. followed by a large creamy center with a soft and sweet brine on the back end.
Medium/Large, creamy.
