Farmer: Bubba Frisby Location: Fisherman’s Island, VA How they’re grown: These oysters start their life in a nutrient-rich part of the Bay on Virginia’s Eastern shore. They go into bags on racks for a while and are then planted directly on the bottom, just like ours at Island Creek. Once they reach maturity, they are moved 70 miles south to tip of the eastern shore of the Virginia National Wildlife refuge to get blasted with super salty, cold water for a few months.How they taste: These oysters are incredibly vegetal. From celery to raw spinach-- you’ll find it here. They have a distinct savory walnut finish, with bready and yeasty hints. They are unusually salt
