100-count Malpeque Oyster (local pick-up)

$105.00

A 100-count of freshly-harvested Malpeque Oysters to shuck and enjoy at home! Please order by noon Wednesday, to guarantee pick-up starting on Friday.

Malpeque Oysters made PEI famous for its oysters. At a Paris exhibition in 1900, Malpeques were judged as the world's tastiest oyster, bringing the region into the limelight. Since then, Malpeques have become a household oyster variety like Blue Points. They can be found at most raw bars or on the happy hour menu. Though they are wild, Malpeque Oysters are clean in look and flavor, reflective of PEI's pristine waters. Harvesters still go out in dories and hand harvest them with tongs just like the good ol' days.

We’re offering local pick-up at Chestertown Natural Foods (Chestertown). Enter a shipping address & select “None (Local Pick-Up)” as the shipping option at checkout. Please bring a cooler for long-distance pickups.

How to properly store oysters: place immediately in fridge and cover with a damp towel. Do not allow to sit in standing water. Avoid rough handling prior to shucking. They’ll stay optimally fresh for raw consumption for 7-10 days from harvest and up to two weeks for cooked consumption.

How to properly shuck oysters: use a knife (OPO Knife or Dale German Knife) to shuck from the hinge or the bill. There are plenty of video tutorials online (see our IGTV), or just ask your handy neighbor! You can also use heat (oven, grill, microwave even) to get them to pop open and then cut the meat free. We don’t recommend screwdrivers or rocks!

How to properly enjoy oysters: anyway you want! Raw, grilled, baked, fried. Naked, hot sauce, lemon & horseradish…the possibilities are endless! This is a chance to get creative with nature’s perfect food.
