Hood Canal Bay Oysters / Crassostrea gigas
Hood Canal is a natural fjord with pristine and deep waters being fed from the Olympic Mountain range that gives these oysters their signature flavor. During their grow-out, the Hood Canal oysters are bagged, and then staked to the gravel banks of the inlet. The tidal wash and the bed terrain work in unison to manicure and harden the Hood Canal’s shell. Perfect for those that consider milder oysters too boring.
