February Oyster of the Month

February 21, 2023 in Aphrodite Oyster Club

BLACK MAGIC OYSTERS

We have been loving these oysters! Black Magic oysters are the perfect meaty bite that is bright with salt.

  • Specie: Crassostrea virginica

  • Origin: Thunder Cove, PEI (Canada)

  • Growth Period: 3 years

  • Average Size: 2.75 inches

  • Suggested Pairing: Mezcal

FLAVOR PROFILE

Smooth salinity with a pronounced vegetal finish.

BRINE INTENSITY

High-Medium

GROWOUT METHOD

Grown in floating cages in Thunder Cove, the tides go out 2-4 times a day by 6 feet. The bottom of the sea is mostly sandy shells beds with eel grass which gives that nice vegetal finish on the palate.
