To All Oysters

Poppy Oyster

Mashpee, MA
South Cape Oysters open with a rich umami character followed by a salty, creamy body that finishes with a subtle minerality on the back end. Grown their entire life in floating gear in the protected waters of Popponesset Bay, they develop a deep cup and a beautifully consistent shape. Their balanced profile makes them a perfect oyster for beginners while still offering enough complexity to intrigue experienced oyster lovers.
