Salt Bomb Tasting Notes
“full ocean salinity and a good amount of umami … grassy and anise notes with a light, earthy finish … [after] one day of being stored in the fridge, this oyster reminded me of sipping a rich shoyu ramen broth.”
Growing Process
Salt Bombs are grown at the mouth of the Bull River within sight of the Atlantic Ocean. They are cultivated in floating baskets where they are polished and shaped by the brisk current and high energy wave action rolling-in off Wassaw Sound.
They all begin as seed provided by the UGA Oyster Hatchery on the Skidaway River, right here in Savannah.
