Pearl Point Oyster Flavor Profile Characteristics

Pearl Point Oysters are a Pacific Northwest oyster from one of the Oregon Coast oyster appellations near Tillamook.  The area is fed by two small mountain streams.  Pearl Point Oysters are farmed by the tray suspension method.  Oysters which are cultivated by the  suspension method are the primadonnas of oyster.  They are suspended in mesh trays in deep water their entire lives, protected from predators, mud, sand and silt.  They have beautiful shells with deep cups, but they are an oyster shucker’s nightmare because their shells are brittle since they never had to fight for survival.  The oyster flavor profile of suspended oysters tends to be clean, sweet & light, with meats which are tender.
