Wild Oysters

Historic Pacific oyster from Drake's Estero in Point Reyes National Seashore, California, where the farm shut down at the end of 2014. Intensely briny with earthy, mushroomy notes and a bitter herb finish. Oysters sold under the Drakes name today are grown in Baja California and have their own profile, Drakes Baja.

One of the most famous oysters from Long Island. Large and robust with heavy, gnarly shells. Intensely briny and metallic with a bold, wild character. Not for beginners—these are big, strong, and unapologetically uncouth.

Small cold-water oyster from Chaleur Bay, New Brunswick. Heavy, gnarly shells with intensely briny, metallic flavor. Robust and wild—not for beginners.
