Dukes
About Dukes
Garden & Gun Magazine called the Dukes 'arguably the best damn oyster in the South.' Grown by Conor MacNair of N. Blue-green, nutrient-rich water from the Topsail Inlet runs over spartina grass and sandy mud oyster beds twice daily.
In plain words: sweet, savory, buttery, umami, herbal, with briny salt.
