Seafood Nibble and Nip!

Seafood Nibble and Nip!

A Nice Share paltter of shell fish is a nice way to dine in your room if the weather has you socked in or a night staying in to relax is the agenda. I shop local and find fresh seafood at a pittance of the coast served in a restaurant.  Sometimes you find an item that rocks your taste buds. These are oysters, the others dream to be. I will tell you that my quest to find the ultimate raw oyster has been a long one but came to and end in Ucluelet BC at the Raven Lady. I travel with my own condiment caddy and Lizano Salsa sauce for just this occasion. Effingham Oysters are a Pacific Northwest oyster from one of the British Columbia oyster appellations by Vancouver Island, BC. They are farmed by the tray suspension and tumbling methods. Effingham Inlet Oysters are cultured in the deep cold pristine waters of Effingham Inlet, which is located in Barkley Sound on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Effingham’s are a tumbled oyster that is suspended from rafts in nutrient rich water. The monthly tumbling process creates a uniform deep cup and hard shell which gives consumers a Premium Quality oyster. During the spring and summer months these oysters are dropped to a depth of 60 feet, which is the same water temperature as the winter. This prevents the oysters from spawning and maintains meat quality for a premium year-round product. If you are an oyster lover, give an Effingham a shuck and suck!
