Hog Island Sweetwaters – Extra Small

Our original oyster and the star of our show. Plump meat sits in a beautifully shaped, deep-cupped, fluted shell. Extra smalls are the perfect size to eat raw on the half-shell.

Tasting notes: A rich, sweet-tasting Pacific Oyster with a slightly smoky finish.

How they’re grown: Our Sweetwaters are grown using a traditional French technique called rack and bag.

Where they’re grown: Grown and harvested by Hog Island in Tomales Bay.

Sizing: Oysters can individually be from 2-2.75″” in length.
