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 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.

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.
