These bottom-planted, Long Island Sound oysters are harvested from the famous oyster beds of Norwalk and Westport, Connecticut. Shallow waters, swift currents and sandy bottoms provide the conditions necessary for raising them to be unique in shape and color. A Queen Victoria favorite, these oysters are an American staple and a sure crowd-pleaser.
