  • Description

    East meets West in the best possible way.

    Known for their firm, full meats and unique synthesis of brine and sweetness, our Totten Inlet Virginicas are considered to be some of the finest oysters around.

    Traditionally, they could only be found on the reefs of the Atlantic Coast at depths of 8-25 feet. That is, until they were introduced to the Pacific Coast in the 1890s. Notoriously finicky in our waters, they only thrive on the beaches of Totten Inlet where the algae-rich waters from neighboring Little Skookum inlet mix with the deeper waters of Puget Sound.

    The taste of our Totten Inlet Virginica is so distinctly unique, when matched up against the top East coast grown Virginica at an East Coast Shellfish Growers Association competition, our Virginica won Best Flavor

    Quantity: 30 count
    Flavor Profile: Crisp with a firm texture and heavy briny flavors, which lead to a buttery taste, with a hint of sweetness at the finish.
    Size: Approximately 2-3 inch shell.

    Love, love, love these oysters. We ended up roasting with herby garlic butter. Perfection.

    Virginica oysters

    Growing up on the Gulf of Mexico coast I've been eating Atlantic oysters (Crassostrea virginica) all my life. I've enjoyed Pacific oyster species too, just not quite as much. I received a Taylor gift certificate and when I saw that they were farming Virginicas in Pacific water I was very intrigued. They are very impressive! The flavor of the oyster is still very much Atlantic, genetics I assume, and the liquor is very much Pacific. They are salty, which I like since most of my DIY oystering was from a hypersaline bay in Texas. Because these are farmed they have a very uniform size and shape with strong healthy shells. These are definitely my favorite West Coast oyster by a wide margin!
