Cougar Creek Oysters Flavor Profile

Cougar Creek Oysters are cultivated on the eastern edge of Vancouver Island in Baynes Sound, British Columbia. They are new on the market in 2016 as I have never heard of them before. And, they are a complicated oyster in that their cultivation involves 3 techniques…suspension tray, tumbling, and beach cultivation.

The result is an oyster which has beautiful multi-colored shells with deep cups, firm meats, and a relatively consistent size and shape. The taste of Cougar Creek oysters is smooth and briny with a sweet melon finish.
