Delicious. Beautiful clear oyster. I had these with Irish Points and they were slightly larger. Nice brine and rich tasting umami flavor.
Average. Clean shell, firm meat, and slightly briny.
These were superb at the Boite aux Huitres shop in Montreal’s Jean-Talon Market in January. The cups were not deep, but the shape was nice, the meats were firm, and the flavor was extraordinary: Sweet and herbal up front, with hints of Pernod, and incredibly rich on the finish, with tons of umami. I was surprised, and so was the shucker. “They’re not usually this good!” he said. Worth seeking out.
