Half Shell Oyster VarietiesThere is a huge variety of fresh oysters availble for chefs to use on their menus today. Oyster flavor profiles have advanced to the point of being akin to wine tasting. Connoisseurs discuss the complexity of the oyster, the finish, the hints of melon or cucumber. It can be rather daunting to remember it all. Below you will find maps to oyster appellations, oyster flavor profiles, oyster descriptions and seasonal availability. Check-out the link for information on oyster cultivation methods and their effects upon oyster flavor profiles. Or see oyster farming for more detailed information about oyster aquaculture. Also, see shellfish storage for the best way to hold your shellfish. |
