About Sweet Petite (PEI)
Cultivated in the pristine waters off Prince Edward Island, with thick, russet-colored shells enclosing fattened meats. A briny blast up front and a mild chew. Not to be confused with the Martha's Vineyard oyster of the same name.
In plain words: briny, clean, plump, chewy, with briny salt.
