Details

On a sun-soaked estuary where fresh and salt water intertwine, the famous Rappahannock Oyster Co. 1 quart shucked Barcat oysters live and thrive. Infused with the natural merroir of Virginia's iconic seafood-famous Chesapeake Bay, these oysters have a crispy yet creamy profile with a briny hit and definitively meaty texture. Pre-shucked to save on valuable time and the cost of labor, these oysters are packed into a 1 quart container, nestled in their own salty liquor, and containing high amounts of iron, protein, and calcium.

Oysters work extremely well in various cooking applications like baking, smoking, broiling, fried, or stewed, and they are famous in New Orleans-style po'boys, oysters Rockefeller, and oysters DuPont. They pair well with a form of acid as it reduces the impression of salt, and also pair well with pomegranates, passion fruit, cucumber, and watermelon as it contrasts an oyster's brackish flavor. Caviar and mushrooms are also highly-regarded pairings, as well as any type of fat, such as oils or hard cheeses, as it cuts an oyster's salinity. Recommend a wine pairing of Chablis or Champagne to have the wine's brightness complement the oyster's brininess, or pick a Sancerre or Muscadet to match the oyster's minerality, crispness, and slight fruitiness.

To store, place the oysters in their container in the coldest part of your refrigerator or walk-in. As per ServSafe guidelines, remember to keep the tag on file for 90 days.

In 2001, the Chesapeake Bay was hitting its lowest oyster harvesting period yet. This once fruitful body of water became almost bivalve-desolate, until a few individuals rose to the occasion to resurrect the once famous oyster production. Rappahannock Oyster Co. not only restored the native Bay oyster, but they made it thrive, hitting new oyster production records that haven't been noted in decades. Through oyster and clam farmers using sustainable aquaculture methods, chefs seeking out high-quality mollusks, patrons purchasing and eating responsibly-raised seafood, and even politicians passing bills in favor of purpose over profit, the Chesapeake Bay is singing with premium bivalves, and is once again known as one of the greatest oyster regions in the world. Now, Rappahannock Oyster Co. lives by their mission: "good food, grown well" as a constant reminder of what a community can do when everyone comes together to celebrate their region's food.
