The Bay’s shallow depths, steady tidal exchange with Nantucket Sound, and nutrient-rich watershed create ideal growing conditions for oysters. The oysters develop beautifully round shells and deep cups, a result of the natural wave agitation they experience while growing in floating gear. Harvested after 12-18 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow They Taste\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Clean, round shells give way to plump opaque meat that is as sweet as a raw Bay Scallop eaten straight from the shell.
