Hog Island Highwaters – Extra Small

There’s a new bivalve in town: Hog Island Highwaters! The first‑ever batch of Pacific Oysters to be grown from seed to shell all at our Humboldt Bay Oyster Farm. Extra smalls are the perfect size to eat raw on the half‑shell.

Tasting notes: A light brine, seaweed umami, and an earthy finish – a flavor profile that’s entirely Humboldt Bay!

How they’re grown: Our Highwaters are tide tumbled in seapa baskets high in the mudflats.

Where they’re grown: Planted, grown, and harvested by Hog Island in Humboldt Bay.

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