Detailed Information

Cultivated in the Atlantic and finished in shallow, clay-bottomed claires, these oysters develop a firm texture and a clean, vegetal flavor profile. The No. 2 sizing ensures a plump, well-balanced oyster ideal for raw service. The claire maturation process improves shell quality and imparts subtle complexity, often described as slightly nutty with a crisp marine finish.
