  • Description

    Our most innovative oyster, Shigokus are Pacific oysters grown in bags that are attached to floats that go up and down in the tides, tumbling the oysters.

    Every time the oysters get agitated, they use their muscles to close their shells. It’s like Pilates class for oysters twice a day, and the result is an oyster with wonderfully firm flesh and a deep cup.

    Shigoku means "ultimate” in Japanese, and we think these unique oysters fit the bill.

    Quantity: 30 count
    Flavor Profile: Strong brininess with a sweet finish and firm, plump texture.
    Size: approximately a 2 - 2.75 inch shell.

    Taste/Consistency

    I love the deep shell of these oysters. However they lack consistency. 7 shells out of 40 where open and dried out and some that were close had very little liquid in them. Some were very good however but probably won't buy this oyster again. The store itself does an excellent job packing and arrives FedEx NDA early morning delivery.

    Perfect

    These were perfect oysters with deep cups and a nice flat lid. Packaged extremely well. I preferred these to the Kumamoto because they weren't as intensely salty and were more sweet and melony. Some of them were unbelievably sweet! I would definitely get them again

    Shigoku oysters

    I love this oyster cultivar. The meat is the same size as the shell. The next size up Fat Bastards are the best. Wish that you offered them for online sale.

    Still the Best

    These oysters are by far the best in the West. Taylor Shellfish does a great job with packaging and shipping. Made for a special father's day eating oysters with my teenage sons (who now fight me for every one).

    2020 Father's Day Treat

    Took Father's Day preparations into my own hand (didn't quite trust the urchins) and ordered the Shigoku oysters. They arrived timely in really great packaging. Popped one delicious oyster straight out of the package and stored the rest overnight in the fridge with no deterioration of quality. Ate every last one of them on the half shell the next day with a choice shallot/tarragon mignonette, fresh horseradish cocktail sauce, lemon, and South Carolina style hot sauce. Washed them down with a crisp 2018 Zenith Vineyard Auxerrois from Ore Winery. Absolute heaven!!! Will definitely order again.
