Tucked in a quiet corner of the Bay River, far from the open ocean and salty tides, grows the Bay River Select oyster. It’s a well balanced oyster, with a salinity in the 15-20 ppt range….and buttery, cream finish. The milder flavor of this oyster makes it excellent for pairing with stronger flavors – mignonette, cocktail sauce, or even roasted with cheese and peppers.
