The beaches of southern Fanny Bay on Vancouver Island are influenced by the glacier fed Cougar Creek. A meticulous growing process lasting four to five years produces an exquisite oyster with a deep cup and firm, clean shell.
Cougar Creek Oysters are a zestfully briny oyster with the smooth umami finish oysters lovers crave.
