Maritime

Canada’s Maritime provinces produce a ton of oysters, all the Eastern species. The wild New Brunswick strain can be recognized by its smallish, teardrop shape and brown-and-white shell, while PEI’s sometimes get bigger and greener. The flavor is moderately salty and, at times, very sweet, with a lot of umami and chicken stock on the finish.
