Chesapeake

Chesapeake

If an oyster is labeled simply a Chesapeake, don’t expect much. It’s like a wine with the basic Bordeaux appellation: it covers an immense area, and is the default name for a product that doesn’t qualify for anything better. Unless it says otherwise, expect a Chesapeake to be a wild oyster with little flavor that was dredged off the bay floor. Look for more specific appellations—Rappahannock, York, Chincoteague—instead.
