About Shinnecock

Farmed by the Shinnecock Indian Nation on their own reservation land in the Hamptons, a rare distinction that lets them bottom-plant oysters directly rather than relying on floating cages, since only the Nation controls their own bay-bottom land.

In plain words: earthy, robust, rich, with briny salt.
