Peacock Cove Oysters
Our Peacock Cove oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are sourced through the pristine waters of Southeastern New Brunswick (Atlantic Canada), and are farm-raised in an entirely sustainable fashion. The Peacock Coves are grown-out in a series of floating bags which provide them with an unparalleled level of protection from predators, while allowing the farmers to keep a close an attentive eye of their grow out. The nutrient rich currents and tidal wash delivered courtesy of the Northumberland Strait provide the Peacock Coves with a ceaseless supply of nutrients while simultaneously causing the oysters to chafe against one another; thereby serving as a natural, gentle abrasive/self-manicuring system. This constant motion keeps the Peacock Coves free of any bio-fouling (barnacles, vegetation, etc.), and lends them a terrific degree of aesthetic appeal (see photo). The Peacock Cove oysters are subjected to an extremely tight grade, and the choice (deeply cupped) oysters all fall between three and three and a third inches in length. Perfect half-shell size. Shells are both thick and chip resistant...A trait sure to be appreciated by rookie shuckers and vetrans alike. The flavor profile of the Peacock Coves leads with a medium salinity which yields to a bright, clean finish.
