PROVIDERS OF FOUR OYSTER BRANDS

HOLLYWOOD OYSTER

SWEET JESUS OYSTER

Both brands are the same nationally sought oyster grown by Hollywood Oyster Company. Hollywood and Sweet Jesus oysters are grown in Hog Neck Creek, Hollywood, Maryland on the Patuxent River in the Chesapeake Bay. Bay oysters are, by definition, a ‘sweet’ oyster with less salt than an ocean oyster.  The ‘merroir’ of an oyster reflects the conditions unique to each farm. Hollywood and Sweet Jesus oysters have a subtle cucumber minerality with a distinctive flinty finish.

VAVA 
                       VOOM OYSTER

These are premium farmed oysters grown on the Chesapeake Bay side of the lower Eastern Shore of Virginia.  We visited many oyster farms on the lower Chesapeake to source this delicious oyster – merroir matters!  Va Va Vooms have a medium brine with soft mossy, almost floral hints and a clean, crisp finish.  

“Va Va Voom – It’s all about the oyster!”

SOLOMONS CHOICE OYSTER

Solomons are wild oysters primarily sourced directly by American Oyster Company from Solomons Island at the mouth of the Patuxent River on the Chesapeake Bay.  Maryland regulations limit harvests and have strict sizing and location requirements for its oysters.  Solomons Choice oysters are harvested by watermen from public oyster grounds that are replenished annually by Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts.  Wild oysters have a heavier shell and and world famous Chesapeake Bay brine.  We wash, cull and pack these oysters to earn the Solomons Choice name.
