Oyster Report 10.16

Shandaph
Harvest location:
 Nova Scotia, CAN
Farmer:
Phillip Docker

How they are grown: The farm is located in a relatively shallow, protected harbor, which receives a massive influx of algae and freshwater from the Northumberland strait and three different rivers, keeping the oysters well fed with plenty of algae throughout their 3 to 5 year grow out! The crew uses innovative gear, that they develop themselves called BOBR – benefit of being round - essentially a line of cylindrical mesh baskets that are not only easier to manage, but keep oysters in a constant state of wave tumbling action! The impact of the super unique system is evident in a strong, round, and perfectly sculpted shells.

How they taste:  
unassuming, beautiful plump pillows with a toothy bite. Super opaque, meaty, slightly salty.

Honey Drops

 Duxbury, MA
Farmers: Benjamin Caliendo

How they are grown: These oysters are grown in the waters of Kingston Bay in a protected area known as “The Nook”. After the hatchery and nursery process as seedlings, they mature in raised trays. They are harvested around 18-24 months.

How they taste: Delightfully earthy, mineral, and savory.
