Matagorda Pearl
Matagorda Bay, Texas 🌎 See Oyster Map
Oysters farmed by David Aparicio in the nutrient-rich waters of Matagorda Bay, Texas, not far from where “La Belle,” the flagship of the French explorer Robert De La Salle, ran aground in 1686. Suspended cages and plenty of wind action give the oysters firm shells and deep cups.

Bright and briny Gulf Coast oysters with lots of iodine on the finish. Strong shells, easy to shuck.
