About Totten Inlet Virginica

An East Coast species notoriously finicky about growing on the West Coast, thriving only on the beaches of Totten Inlet, where algae-rich water from neighboring Little Skookum Inlet mixes with the deeper waters of Puget Sound.

In plain words: briny, buttery, sweet, crisp, firm, with salt bomb salt.
