The Pickle Point is a beautiful farmed-raised oyster with ivory lips, glistening meats and a heavy, thick shell. These 3 to 3 ½ inch oysters are raked as seed from P.E.I.’s remote icy waters and transferred to Pickle Point in New London Bay for finishing. Pickles sit firmly in your palm, are a breeze to open and will deliver the firm, salty taste your patrons desire. Influenced by the tidal flow from the Hope River, they distinguish themselves from others in the area by spending the majority of their grow-out in cages along the shoreline. When winter hits the hardest, they are moved to deeper water and then cut from the ice until the saws can reach no more. Availability is typically strong year-round except when moving ice and severe winter weather prevent the harvest. An American Mussel Harvesters’ exclusive.
