Willapa Bay, located along the southern coast of Washington state, is renowned for its ideal oyster-growing conditions. Willapa Supremes are cultivated in these clean, tide-swept waters, producing oysters with a crisp, briny flavor and a firm yet tender texture.
Willapa Supremes are notable for their robust size, often larger than other oyster varieties. Their meat is plump and juicy, with a flavor profile that starts with a sharp brininess, followed by a subtle sweetness and a clean finish. The oysters’ thick shells are rugged and fluted, providing a perfect presentation for raw bars or grilled oyster dishes.
These oysters are a popular choice for those who prefer a bold, salty kick with a lingering ocean essence.
