Elkhorn
About Elkhorn
Wild-ish intertidal oysters from Willapa Bay on the Washington coast, harvested September through July. The shells protect the meat from predators and rough tides, and the effort of opening them is rewarded with a firm meat and a melon finish.
In plain words: very briny, sweet, firm, melon, earthy, with briny salt.
