Description

Imperial Eagle

Source: Chef’s Resource

Imperial Eagle Oysters are a Pacific Northwest oyster from one of the British Columbia oyster appellations on the west side of Vancouver Island, BC. They are from Imperial Eagle Channel which is located about 80 miles north from the island’s southern tip. They are raised by the bag to beach method which combines two oyster farming methods. Rack & bag oysters are taken from their pampered environment and put into the beach cultured environment during their last 6 months before harvesting. This allows them to “toughen up” a bit, giving them stronger, less brittle shells and firmer meats.
