About Cannon Cove

War Shore's take on a bottom-cultured Eastern oyster, grown along Virginia's western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The lower salt content typical of this growing area produces a full-bodied, smooth, and soft-textured oyster.

In plain words: full-bodied, smooth, soft, mild, with mild salt.
