  • 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. 

    !WARNING!

    These are simply the best. We anxiously await their arrival every year. We have loyal fans of Taylor Shellfish for years, as they have carefully shipped, not only to Seattle, but also to Montana and now Scottsdale Arizona.

    Simply Awesome

    These are a must try for anyone with a taste for a great oyster! We thoroughly enjoyed these along with the Sumo Kumo, and honestly, I like the Virginia’s better. This isn’t my first order from Taylor, they’ve always delivered a quality product, on time, every time.

    Totten Inlet Virginica Oysters

    This was the second time I ordered these and they did not disappoint. We usually prefer the brininess of east coast oysters and these are absolutely amazing. I love that they are more local (I'm in Los Angeles) and Taylor always does an amazing job of shipping them. Already looking forward to my next order!

    TIV Oysters

    Wow! I enjoy west coast oysters and east coast oysters, for different reason. I enjoy the salinity and crispness of east coast oysters (espically Glidden Points), yet I love the slightly sweet cucumber/melon flavor of west coast oysters (especially Shigokus). Somehow, the TIV's I recently received from Taylor blended what I enjoy about east coast oysters with what I enjoy about west coast oysters, in one shell. Brine up front, followed by the slightly sweet cucumber/melon flavor. Simply amazing. TIV's are likely at the top of my list of oysters now. The TIV's arrived fresh and cold, with plenty of liquor inside the shells when shucked.

    Absolutely the BEST! They arrived on time, perfectly packaged (I really appreciated the completely recyclable packing materials) and the oysters were exquisite! Can’t wait to order again.

    On time delivery, well package. These oysters are easy to shuck. They are firm and are meaty.
