Region 8 - Tangier/Middle Chesapeake Bay
Flavor Guide: Region 8 (Tangier/Middle Chesapeake Bay) - Traditional Virginia Bay Oyster flavor with a balance of salt and sweet, and a savory butter/cream finish.
With eight different coastal habitats, the flavors of Virginia oysters range from salty to buttery to sweet. Some of the creeks and inlets are no more than a mile apart yet the oysters from each region take on different nuances in flavor, texture and appearance.
(Note: Although most listed here are physically located within/near this flavor region, some trail sites outside the region serve oysters that are harvested here. When planning your visit, be sure to check the trail site’s location to be sure it is in the proximity of your travels).
