About Hammerhead

Commissioned by Chef Bob Getchell of The Boathouse at Disney Springs, who wanted a deep-cup New England oyster with a shell tough enough to survive shucking thousands a night. Bottom-planted and sand-finished in West Bay's deep channel.

In plain words: very briny, sweet, clean, firm, full-bodied, with briny salt.
