About Chunky Dunker

True Chesapeake's largest grade, from the same St. Jerome Creek cages as the Skinny Dipper but left to reach four inches and up. Big enough that the farm jokes the empty shells work as cereal bowls, and well suited to frying or roasting.

In plain words: buttery, clean, meaty, full-bodied, lightly briny, with light salt.
