Baja Kumamotos – “The New Cold Water Oyster”

For Immediate Release

    Kumamoto oysters, grown in the cold, pristine waters of Baja California, Mexico are in good supply and are now constantly available in the United States. K & B Seafood, Inc. of East Northport, N.Y. in an exclusive arrangement with a Mexican oyster grower is shipping these oysters into Los Angeles and New York weekly, from an FDA approved source. "The Baja Kumamoto tastes like a coldwater oyster due to the California current which brings abundant nutrients and cold water into the Baja giving these oysters a unique and wonderful flavor profile," says Tom Kehoe, President of K & B Seafood. "The Baja Kumamoto, also marketed as a "Meximoto" is reasonably priced and offers restaurants an affordable alternative to the Washington, Oregon or California Kumamotos," Kehoe went on the say.
    According to K & B Seafood, "In a recent blind taste test, several prominent chefs were pleasantly surprised when they ate the Baja Kumamoto. They thought they were eating an oyster from Canada or Maine or somewhere else where the waters were cold." K & B Seafood reports that they are well stocked for the Fall and Winter, "Oyster Season." Quantity pricing and distributor inquiries are welcome.
