Description
Original smoked oysters grown and tinned in Washington State. Long-line farming and precise maple smoking create a clean bivalve with distinct regional character.
Craft & Origin
Pacific oysters are cultivated on Ekone’s own farms in Willapa Bay using a suspended long-line method, ensuring bivalves never touch the ocean floor. This technique promotes healthy growth while eliminating sand and grit. After harvest, oysters are transported to the nearby Bay Center cannery where they are immediately steamed, opened, and brined in small batches. They are then smoked over maple chips before tinning, rendering them shelf stable for up to four years.
Flavor & Texture
Clean and briny with distinct maple smoke. Firm bivalve texture without grit.
How to Use
Serve on plain crackers with hot sauce, or integrate into seafood stews.
Why We Like It
Ekone is one of the few domestic canneries controlling the entire process from seed to tin. This vertical integration guarantees remarkable freshness and regional transparency.
