Oysters from Sweet Neck Farm
Sweet Neck
US East CoastJack Blake's oyster from Sweet Neck Farm, one of several farms in Katama Bay on Martha's Vineyard; his smaller oysters are sold as Sweet Petites. Crisp and clean with balanced salinity, finishing with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of rainwater or sweet apple.
Sweet Petite
US East CoastThe smaller, younger grade of Jack Blake's Sweet Neck oyster, grown in off-bottom cages in Katama Bay, Martha's Vineyard. It is one grower's brand from the bay, not another name for Katama Bay oysters in general. Deep-cupped with firm white meats, a briny hit, smooth creaminess and a sweet finish.
