"Ground Swell" is a surfer term for those deep water waves with the most energy and the most powerful bang for your buck. These oysters are a winter and spring specialty for Swell, and are grown "free range" on the bottom. There is no cages and no interference with how they grow naturally. The best part about them is not only do they have a totally different flavor profile then the caged oysters grown right next to them but they look totally different too. We get alittle more cucumber and mushroom on the back end.
