About Cape May Salt
Decent size, with a sweet brine, fatty meat, and a beautifully balanced 'just-right' mouthfeel - large enough to fill but not overstuff. A stalwart of the Mid-Atlantic oyster community with excellent year-round availability.
In plain words: sweet, briny, rich, plump, balanced, with briny salt.
