La Saint Simon

"A dynamic and sharp brine, supple meat and a sweet, mineral finish. The La Saint Simon Oyster from Shippagan, New Brunswick is one-of-a-kind oyster because it has an amazingly dynamic flavor -- wonderful briny start, then transforms on the palate into sweet, buttery goodness down the throat."

"Her dynamic flavor almost can't be described. A briny start delicately transforms into sweet, buttery happiness. The creaminess lingers and closes with a subtle sweet-citrus finish. She's the perfect dinner guest."

"Refined, brown-shelled, light-bodied oysters from Shippagan, one of Beausoleil's homes. It would be easy to mistake these clean 2.5-inchers for Beausoleils. They seem equally uniform in their smooth teardrop shapes. Tray-cultured in similar ways, they make decent substitutes, though their gray flesh is more salty and less creamy. Still, they have genuine sweetness and make excellent ambassadors to the land of the oyster-shy."

"The size was petite and almost looked a bit bashful or shy. The thin body broke instantly upon chewing and released a slightly salty, yet surprising flavor."

"What I enjoyed most was its dynamic flavor -- an initial mild brininess, but finished with a sweet and pleasant ocean flavor. For comparison's sake, it was similar to a La Saint Simon in that the flavor changed as it moved across your palate."
