This area is probably the best in the world for fresh oysters!
Virginia oysters move through a food-safety system designed to protect the consumer from harvest to sale. 🦪
Harvest waters are monitored and approved, oysters are tagged so their source can be traced, and licensed harvesters and certified dealers follow handling and temperature-control requirements. At restaurants and seafood markets, source records continue through the point the oysters are sold or served.
And if you enjoy oysters raw, sourcing matters. Choose a reputable restaurant or seafood market.
From Virginia waters to your table, there’s a whole system working behind the scenes. 🌊
