Connecticut Blue Point Oysters
Blue Point oysters originated near the town of Blue Point, Long Island, situated on Great South Bay, New York. In the early 1800’s they were famous for their robust, wild flavor and became the favorite oyster of Queen Victoria. Generally, Blue Point oysters have satiny, almost liquid meats with a high brininess and very mild flavor, but a genuine Blue Point oyster has a fresh, crisp, firm texture, with a sweet aftertaste. They are available from September through July.
Notes from our buyer

Copper River Salmon
We should see Copper River and other sockeyes in the market through July, but this will all depend on Mother Nature.

Mediterranean Mussels
We have some very nice Mediterranean mussels in for the week. They are a little different from the Canadian PEI, but the flavor is fantastic. This is a perfect item to add to the feature board or menu to create some excitement.

Gulf Oysters
Make sure you are buying what you think you are buying. Some people are selling a 30 pound box/sack of oysters and calling it 100 count. Count them and you will see that there are not always 100 oysters in there, and they are not graded. Contact your sales rep with questions.
