About Bald Point

Grown halfway up the west side of Washington's Hood Canal, just north of the mouth of the Hamma Hamma River. Raised from hatchery seed and grown intertidally on the beach, maturing with the hard, gnarled shell associated with beach cultivation.

In plain words: sweet, fruity, plump, with balanced salt.
