Oysters - Live, Atlantic, French Kiss, Farmed, Canada
Description
Oysters are truly luxurious fruits of the sea, renowned for their bright freshness, plump and springy texture, and briny liquor. Depending on where they are from, you’ll detect subtle differences – buttery, sweet, salty or a combination of all three, some with notes of seaweed, minerals and even melon and cucumber. French Kiss Oysters are sharply briny with a mildly sweet finish.
