EAST CAPES

Harvest Location:
Souris, East Cape, PEI, CAN
Farmer:
Phil Enserink

How they are grown:
Phil put both purchased and wild seed in the floating upwellers before placing them into his cage system. In the winter the crew uses much different gear than warmer months. Arming themselves with snowsuits, chainsaws, ice fishing augers, and snow mobiles in order to reach the oysters under the ice.
How they taste:
They are so unique that they taste like they are from a different country. Wait a minute... Think caramelized onioins, nori, and spring garlic. The meats are are super plump and have a clam - like chew. The Brackish waters from the Souris River gives this oyster distinctively differnet profile from many other PEI oysters.

Ralph Hamill
