OUR OYSTERS
Baynes Sound Oysters are also known as Komo Gway Oysters and are a Pacific Northwest oyster from one of the British Columbia oyster appellations. They are cultivated in the heart of Canada’s Shellfish Capital – the Comox Valley – within the traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation. The pristine coastal waters of Baynes sound provide an abundance of nutrients for these oysters which have a long history of sustainable farming practices.
Baynes Sound Oysters are firm fleshed with a refreshingly briny taste and vibrantly colored mantel. They have a subtle note of cucumber and a slightly sweet finish.
