About East Cape

Named for the area near the head of the Souris River where it grows, in floating surface cages over three to four years. Grown close to the Sand Dunes but with a completely different profile and a blonde shell from the nutrients at the surface.

In plain words: briny, crisp, sweet, clean, with briny salt.
