Oysters from Ballard Fish and Oyster Company
Chincoteague
US East CoastThe aristocrat of American oysters. Intensely briny and ocean-forward, with firm, full meat and a remarkably clean finish.
James River
US East CoastA mild Virginia oyster from the brackish waters where the James River meets the Chesapeake Bay. Exceptionally plump with low salinity, focusing on sweet cream and savory, earthy notes with a smooth finish.
