Conway Cup Oyster Flavor Profile Characteristics
Conway Cup oysters are from the Foxley River, in the Northwestern region of Prince Edward Island, Canada. They are rack & bag farmed in the brackish waters of the Foxley and sold as cocktail oysters. Conway Cup select oysters are started in the Foxley River by rack & bag cultivation and then finish their grow-out on the sandy bottom of Cascumpeque Bay, which the Foxley empties into.
The shells of Conway Cup oysters are deep cupped, well defined, and frequently have a pastel green coloration. Conways have full meats with a mild brininess and a clean, sweet finish.
