Cook with Us #17 - Raw Food "Oysters"

I think almost everyone would say that their favorite raw food is oysters.

So thanks @chefsteve, @pandamama and @offoodandart for the raw food contest.

My pick is Fanny Bay Oysters.

ORIGIN: Baynes Sound, BC

SIZE: Extra small to medium

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Sweet and salty, slight metallic taste, and a pronounced cucumber finish.

NOTES: Fanny Bays were one of the first BC oysters to become widely available, and they’re still considered the archetypal BC oyster—smooth, but with a pronounced cucumber finish. Oyster town of Fanny Bay sits on Baynes Sound, of Vancouver Island, BC.

One of the first areas to introduce oysters on the BC coast, initial seeding occurred as early as 1912 or 1913.

Fanny Bay Oysters life cycle – Oyster seed initially goes into the tray for boosting then move on to the Fanny Bay beaches for the final grow out.

Always good at summer with glass of white wine or rose...
