St. Roch NC Oysters on the Half Shell in Raleigh

St. Roch Fine Oysters on South Wilmington Street sources NC-farmed oysters from the Crystal Coast and Pamlico Sound alongside Gulf and Pacific varieties, each presented with the farm name and growing region. The NC oysters are the local argument: smaller and brinier than Pacific varieties, they represent the state's growing aquaculture programme. The half-dozen on the half shell with mignonette is the starting point; the shuckers can walk through the flavour differences between farms.
