Shandaph Oysters from Nova Scotia, CAN
Available for a limited time only.
Farmer: Philip Docker
Location: Big Island, Nova Scotia, Canada
Size: 2.5"
How they're grown: Philip's farm is located in a relatively shallow, protected harbor which receives a massive influx of algae and fresh water from the Northumberland Strait and three different rivers, keeping their oysters well fed with plenty of algae throughout their 3-5 year growout! The crew uses innovative gear that they developed themselves called "BOBR: Benefit of Being Round." It's essentially a line of cylindrical mesh baskets that are not only easier to manage, but keep oysters in a constant state of wave-tumbling action! The impact of this super unique system is evident in the strong, round, and perfectly sculpted shells.
How they taste: Delightfully unassuming. Clean, heavy brown shells that are a breeze to shuck. Beautiful, plump pillows with a toothy bite. Super opaque, meaty, and slightly salty, making them the perfect Michelin-star oyster - you can do anything with them.
Why they're unique: In the late 1960's a disease wiped out all of the oysters in their harbor in Nova Scotia. Philip's grandparents were retiring around that same time and decided to attempt to re-seed the harbor and try their hand at oyster farming. Although they did not continue farming past the late 1980's, the oysters Philip and his crew farm today are from the same genetic stock that his grandparents introduced into the harbor back in the day!
Story: We've found that adopting a career in oyster farming is usually the happy byproduct of wanting to spend as much time as possible on the water; Philip's story has similar origins. After living in Europe for four years without a single trip home back to Nova Scotia, he was awestruck by the island's natural beauty as he drove along the beach at sunrise on his way to visit his grandparents Shan and Daphne. Several years after that soul inspiring moment, Philip started his oyster farm which is completely off the grid, and that he named after his grandparents (awww].
