Northern Belle Oysters from Prince Edward Island, CAN

Available for a limited time only. Farmer: Phil Enserink  Location: North Lake, Prince Edward Island, CAN Size: 3" How they’re grown: These oysters are grown in floating cages on Phil’s 30-acre lease for the majority of their lives.  North Lake has rough waters with tons of wind and wave action which naturally tumbles the oysters and helps them form strong shells with deep cups.  Because the waters on this part of the island are especially cold, the oysters can take 4-5 years to reach market size.  How they taste:  These meaty oysters give us a fresh burst of ocean saltiness followed by a super savory, mushroom-esque umami.  Phil loves to enjoy them as is...raw with nothing on ‘em. Why they’re unique: These are some of the first oysters to come out of North Lake.  North Lake is well-known as the bluefin tuna capital of the world, has over 90 lobster fisheries, and some of PEI’s most productive areas for snow crab, herring, mackerel, and halibut.  After being used primarily for mussel
