The very first oyster from Newfoundland ~ Canada’s coldest oyster growing region.
Oysters reap the benefits from the Labrador Sea and Arctic currents!

Follow the scent to Merasheen’s merroir! Seaweed, salt and the crisp, clean sea. Puffin Rock oysters are a boutique cocktail oyster, cup full of meat, a burst of lingering salinity on the front with a mélange of seawood notes and slight minerality. Expect a long-lasting fresh ocean finish. They are noted for their strong shell, easy to find hinge and always clean ~ inside and out.
