BELON OYSTER
Belon Oyster - Casco Bay Area
Harvested from the cold, clean waters of Maine, American Mussel Harvesters presents our North American Flat. The shell immediately catches the eye with its nice round shape and somewhat shallow cup (3" to 5"). Though an oyster, the shell somewhat resembles that of a scallop with the beautiful ridges running symmetrically from hinge to lip. The vibrant green color of the shell comes from the naturally growing algae in the harvest area that attaches to the shell. Upon shucking you will notice a beautiful firm meat and very large abductor muscle. The flavor begins with a nice salt content quickly followed with a strong metallic finish. Shucking Ostrea Edulis requires a more delicate touch than most gigas or virginica species. Due to the shape of the oyster and the strength and location of the abductor mussel, a longer knife may be preferred. Shop Now

ROCKY SHORE OYSTER
Rocky Shore Oyster – Rocky Bay
Rocky Bay...there is probably no other place quite like it anywhere. From the tip of the bay at Hell's Point to the other side at Battery Point, this is one unique area. During prohibition, Rocky Bay was a safe haven for local smugglers plying the treacherous south coast of Prince Edward Island. This was because locals were the only ones who knew the bay well enough not to founder on the many rocks. You can expect a nice 3" - 3 ½" round shape with a deep cup bursting with salty liquor. Rocky Shores are harvested by tonging from flat-bottom oyster dories. The heavy current in the bay constantly keeps rolling them around which gives the nice round shape. When you fish these oysters, you are lucky to get one oyster every second or third “dip” of the tongs; this makes for a slow painstaking process, but well worth it. An average oyster in your box will be 4 to 5 years old. Shop Now
