5 Dozen Oysters per order Fresh Kachemak Bay Oysters 10 day Refrigeration Life Free Shipping to the continental US! Born in the frigid, glacier-fed waters of Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, Kachemak Bay Oysters are widely considered some of the cleanest and most flavorful bivalves in the world. These are sold 5 dozen per order. These oysters never spawn, allowing them to remain plump, sweet, and firm year-round. You receive 5 dozen oysters when ordering this product. The Flavor Profile Body: Exceptionally plump and "meaty" with a creamy, almost foie gras-like texture. Finish: A signature clean, vegetal finish—often described as fresh cucumber, snap peas, or crisp nori (seaweed). Sweetness: A distinct honeydew melon or apple candy sweetness that lingers on the palate. Why They Are Unique Glacier-Fed Purity: Grown in a relict glacial-fjord estuary, these oysters are continuously nourished by nutrient-rich glacial meltwater and massive 30-foot tidal exchanges. Slow-Grown Excellence: While most oysters reach market size in 18 months, Kachemak Bay oysters take 3 to 4 years to mature. This slow growth results in a more complex flavor and a harder, sturdier shell. The "Coddled" Life: Cultivated in suspended lantern nets or trays, they never touch the muddy seafloor. This ensures they are free of grit and sand, boasting beautiful shells with swirls of white, violet, and black Serving Suggestions Best Enjoyed: Raw on the half-shell with just a squeeze of lemon or a light cucumber-mignonette to highlight their natural vegetal notes. Drink Pairing: A crisp Witbier, a dry Muscadet, or a gin martini with a cucumber garnish. Cooking: Their hearty size makes them excellent for light broiling with herb butter or "Oysters Rockefeller" style.
