Absolutely pure Virginica oysters - Small 2 1/2 - 3 3/4 inch - are grown on privately owned Willapa Bay oyster beds. Virginica oysters - Crassostrea virginica - occur naturally from the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, and the coasts of Brazil and Argentina. Virginicas are grown on beds close to the Pacific, nourished by fresh natural plankton. Willapa Bay Virginicas are meaty, plump and slightly salty. Harvest is by hand at low tide. See tide table. Virginicas have lovely cream colored shells with smooth surface and are grown as single oysters. Sculptured deep cups are filled with delicate and slightly briny liquor. Light colored meats are firm and crisp. Flavor is typical of the Virginica east coast oyster, delicately light and smooth. Virginicas are wonderful half shell oysters, easy to open and attractively presented on a bed of finely crushed ice. We ship FedEx Overnight or 2Day to anywhere in the USA.
