Oysters

Shoal Bay

Source: Chef’s Resource

Shoal Bay Oysters are a Pacific Northwest oyster from one of the Hood Canal oyster appellations in Washington State. They are a Beach/Bottom Cultured Oyster. Shoal Bay Oysters are cultivated in deeper water than most bottom cultivated oysters, giving them more availability during the warmer months. They have a very limited production and are not always available as they are farmed under a private lease and not a normal commercial harvest area. They are similar to Quilcene Oysters, but are slightly sweeter.
