Indian Creek oyster (Crassostrea virginica). Chefs are always looking for variety and consistency. The Indian Creeks bring both to the table. Indian Creek oysters are roughly two-and-a-quarter to three-and-three-quarter inches in length, and possess a terrific level of continuity in terms of both shell structure and meat yield. The oysters produced by this fishery are closely monitored through each and every step of their life, and when they are (roughly) the size of your thumbnail, you can tell which oysters have the proper shape and definition to become a “choice” oyster…Just so we’re all on the same page here…Choice grade oysters command a higher price than standard grade oysters because of their consistency in size, shape, and cup-definition. The tiny choice oysters are culled from the masses, and transported to a specific lease on which only high-graded oysters are grown-out. All through the grow-out period, our Indian Creeks are regularly manicured by hand (i.e. new growth is chipped away in an effort to create a more compact, deeper-cupped oyster) and monitored to assure they are growing out in accordance to our exacting specifications. The bed terrain is a smooth composite of hard packed of sand and clay, which allows the tidal wash to move swiftly over the oysters. The silt that is carried by the currents acts as a constant natural abrasive agent, effective preventing any sort of bio-fouling from accumulating on the shell. The resulting oysters are pristine both inside and out. Each and every Indian Creek oyster is hand packed (cup down to retain the liquor) |
