Some of the best oysters on Earth are on this list. Great job guys.
I am not seeing some of the best farmed oysters from Umpqua Aquaculture out of Winchester Bay. It needs to be included as they are the cleanset, sweetest, best tasting oysters due to the farm being in an area boats are not allowed unless conducting business and they are not grown on the bottom, but are suspended while growing.
Hi Betty, do you have contact info for Umpqua Aquaculture? If they can provide me with the info I need then I’d be glad to post a page about their oysters.
Which one are big
Most fresh oysters can be purchased by the size you want because the size mostly depends on how old they are and how popular they are for raw oysters or baked oysters. Raw oysters tend to be “extra small” or “small” while baking/roasting oysters tend to be larger.
