Rappahannock Oyster Co. Shucked Barcat Oysters in 1 Quart Container

Harvested from Virginia's Chesapeake Bay, these Rappahannock Oyster Co. Barcat oysters come pre-shucked in a 1 quart container filled with their natural salty liquor. Wild-caught and featuring the Crassostrea Virginica species, these oysters have a crispy yet creamy texture with a briny hit and a meaty consistency. They contain high levels of iron, protein, and calcium. These oysters are versatile for cooking methods such as baking, smoking, broiling, frying, or stewing, and are commonly used in dishes like New Orleans-style po'boys, oysters Rockefeller, and oysters DuPont. They pair well with acidic ingredients to reduce saltiness and with fruits like pomegranate, passion fruit, cucumber, and watermelon to contrast their brackish flavor. Additional pairings include caviar, mushrooms, oils, and hard cheeses. Recommended wine pairings include Chablis, Champagne, Sancerre, and Muscadet to complement the oysters' brininess and minerality. Store refrigerated in the coldest part of your refrigerator or walk-in, keeping the tag on file for 90 days according to ServSafe guidelines.
