Congratulations to Taylor Shellfish.
Taylor Shellfish has raised the bar on the oyster experience with an award-winning variety that’s not-so-local. In a blind tasting four years ago, sponsored by the East Coast Shellfish Growers Association, those "west coast" Virginicas were judged number one. "Stunning," said Rowan Jacobsen, author of The Geography of Oysters. Ronald Holden writes.
