Size: A perfectly petite oyster from Wellfleet Ma

Farming Technique: Grown at the mouth of a creek running from a salt pond, these oysters are placed in bags on racks on the bottom for grow-out. Combined with big, fast-moving tides this provides a crisp and clean shot of ocean in every swig.

Wellfleets are the best at providing an esteemed, notorious and classic New England oyster experience. They are a standby on any oyster platter--like the ex that you just keep coming back to time and again. They never get old.

Salinity: Wellfleets are well known for their high salinity and their clean, simple finish.

Flavor Notes: High salt with a briny splash of crisp mineral water.
