    *Virginicas are out for the season* If you are missing them, check out our Virginica top off oysters!

    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 regarded as some of the finest oysters around. Virginicas were originally found only on the reefs of the Atlantic Coast, at depths of 8-25 feet, before being 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 allowing these oysters to develop their distinct and sought-after flavor profile.

    Awarded Best Flavor at the East Coast Shellfish Growers Association competition, our Totten Inlet Virginica oysters are celebrated for their exceptional taste.

    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. 

    !WARNING!

    I live in Florida and ordered these oysters for my husband’s birthday. They were delivered on time, storage instructions were included, and most importantly they were fresh and delicious! No waste from dead or old oysters either. We didn’t eat them all right away and they lasted in our fridge for 4 days. We grilled them and had a wonderful feast. Can’t wait to order more!

    Virginica Oysters

    I knew they would not be petite and maybe grilled. I like oysters raw. I shucked one and slurped it down. Great texture, beautiful taste, abundant salty brine, and just the right size. I was able with help from others enjoy them for a few days. Not one got close to grilling, resulted in almost a meal rather than an appetizer For all the oysters I have consumed in my life this hits the tops and most of all it needs no SAUCE They arrived like they were just packed a few hours before and just with no second thought, ORDER THEM you won’t be sorry!!

    Virginica

    Got my shipment on Thursday. They looked like they were only in the box for a few hours. The ice didn't have a chance to melt. I thought due to the size we would have to break out the BBQ. NO WAY I shucked one, and it was a easy shuck. The inside was plump, full of brine, and great taste with a great texture. Stayed fresh until they were done on Saturday. Due to the size (correct size) you could only eat a certain amount per sitting. Over the top experience from start to finish in taste and freshness. Go with the flow, you will not be sorry.

    All i can say... it's not my cup of tea... It's on the briney side. It has to go with my shallot red wine vinegar sauce.

    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!
