Malpeque Oysters

AVAILABLE: Year-Round

Malpeques are grown in the nutrient rich waters of northwestern Prince Edward Island. They are hand-harvested--often to order--using 15 foot long tongs. This process minimalizes the environmental impact of harvesting, and insures the prosperity of future generations. With plump, briny, clean-tasting meat, they rival Bluepoints as one of the most common restaurant oysters.
