#merroir

personal sketch.

If wine has terroir, oysters have merroir—a term whispered among connoisseurs with the same reverence one might reserve for the finest Bordeaux or a single-origin coffee. Unlike the predictable uniformity of landlocked cuisine, the oyster is a product of its waters, a briny fingerprint left by the tides, the minerals, and the very breath of the sea.

Holiday oysters.

@guinness & Oysters 1951 advert Chats about Oysters of the NorthEast to Louisiana USA. Opening Time is Guinness time - and We Shuckers are thinking or Opening @kellyoysters of Galway bay.

New Oysters Available in the USA. Oysters from The Netherlands - lovingly grown by @premier.seafarmers have finally landed in NYC. Dutch Flats - The Dutch Flats - Ostrea edulis - toothsome firm, slight crunchy in the texture with earthy notes. Briny WetStone Dry Tannic finish mineral mineral mineral. Krijn (pronounced “Cr-ine” - like wine with a Kr..) Magallana “(Crassostrea) gigas - “”Ocean, sweet cream, melon, sea greens, mushroom and cucumber freshness. The exciting difference compared to all other oysters is the salt. The taste of European Saline is much different than that of North American shores, will be very “European” bright and minerality. “But why Import Oysters?” Parallelling the wine world, oysters in the global perspective would be a comparison of “old world wine” with “New World wine” based on the same grape varietal. “It’s all about the flavour experience.” The flavour of oyster comes from three things. Species, Region, Farmer. And that we call Merroir. I invite those lucky folks in NYC to head over to @flexmussels #UES today to enjoy the first of the European oysters to grace USA. Pair them with some of the wonderful Local Oyster for that Shuckers Experience! More shipments to follow on a weekly basis. If you have any questions or want to know how to get some of these… please DM send me a message. #LetsGetShucking #Merroir #Oysters #OysterSommelier #TasteOfPlace #Netherlands #Dutch #OysterTasting #Shucker #Shucked #NewShuckCity #NYOyster #DutchFlat #KrijnOyster #FlexOysterBar #MusselsAndOysters #ShuckerClub #ShuckedByPaddy @theoystercompanion @shuckerpaddyoysterco @shuckerclub (at Flex Mussels) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQDWP_OVd2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
