"Sea Spray" XS Pacific Oysters from Similk Bay (perishable)

These wonderful live oysters are sweet and buttery with a cucumber-y finish. Grown by the Swinomish Tribe in Similk Bay in northern Puget Sound, Washington, where the Pacific ocean water meets fresh river and estuary water to create a medium salinity bay perfect for growing shellfish.
