Fanny Bay Oyster Flavor Profile Characteristics
Fanny Bay Oysters are found in the nutrient rich waters of Baynes Sound on the eastern side of Vancouver Island, BC. Fanny Bays were one of the first widely distributed and reknown British Columbia oysters.
Fanny Bay's are Tray Cultured Oysters, meaning they are not in direct contact with the mud and silt of the bottom of the bay. This method of cultivation gives nicely fluted shells and meats with a clean flavor. But unlike some tray-raised oysters, the shells of Fanny Bays are not terribly brittle. Their meats are full and firm.
