Old Barney Salts, BARNEGAT INLET
Not all of our oysters are destined to be Sloop Points. Occasionally in the spring and summer, a portion of our crop is transplanted 20 miles south to our grounds adjacent to the Barnegat Inlet where they take on a much bolder salt profile and an altogether different flavor. These oysters, named for the iconic "Old Barney" Lighthouse that towers above the farm, are known for their salty merroir and occasional green gills, a product of a specific species of algae they feed on that enhances their flavor. They’re not always in production, so grab them before their gone when you can!
