PEI Oysters
The Malpeque Oyster has a long and rich history. It was judged the world's tastiest oyster at a Paris exhibition in 1900. It continues to be recognized as one of the world's finest, known for a clean sharp taste.
Malpeque oysters are designated into two grades; Choice and Standard. Choice is the top grade for oysters, and are ideal for serving on the half shell. Shells are round and deep ensuring a full, plump oyster. They are easy to shuck and have a salty taste with a sweet finish. Standard oysters have a slightly irregular shape with the same flavour as Choice, but are an excellent choice for cooking or frying.
Our Malpeque oysters come in a number of well-known brands; North Shore Gold and Osprey Point are two varieties of Choice oysters, while Salutes is a combination of Choice and Standard oysters.
Oysters from Prince Edward Aqua Farms are recognized for their fresh and tender meat which is a result of being packaged in their natural fluids and the facility's expedited shipping practices. They can be prepared in a variety of ways, but a traditional and still popular method is eating them fresh out of the shell. Oyster shucking contests are a popular summer pastime in many parts of North America as well as here on Prince Edward Island.
Prince Edward Aqua Farms packs their oysters by grade, in a variety of convenient sizes suitable for any customer's needs; Small Standard or Choice oysters are available in counts of 33 to 250; Medium Choice oysters in 80 or 100 counts, and Large Standard or Choice come in 65 or 100 counts.
