Beau Soleil Oysters / Crassostrea virginica
The little black dress of oysters, this Atlantic oyster’s name translated means “beautiful sun.” Raised in a carefully controlled, uncrowded environment; beau soleils shells are always perfect. According to oyster expert, Rowan Jacobsen, "If I had a novice oyster eater in my care and wanted to guarantee a successful first experience, I’d order a dozen Beau Soleils. And probably another dozen for myself." A perfect starter oyster, order today!
