Now that you know how to shuck an oyster open, lets talk about our Alan’s Market oysters. We have two kind of oysters every week, the Virginia Oysters and the Oyster of the Week.

Virginia Oysters

Alan’s Market Virginia Oysters are always available.

Method of Catch: Farm Raised

Origin: East Coast, USA

Taste: Initially briny, you will often notice a light creamy/butter flavor of different intensities and then a sweetness.

Texture: Plump and springy.

Oyster of the Week on the other hand, as the name says, changes every week. That means that every week we have a different kind of oyster you can try and taste. Yes, depending on where the oyster is farmed it will determine the taste, the texture, and the size of the oyster.

Tune in on our social media (Facebook and Instagram — @alansmarketpr ) or search our Oyster of the Week to see what oyster we are featuring this week!
