“FAT AS BUTTER” is how @tt_oyster Double T Oyster Ranch describes their hybrid, farm raised oysters which still express a wild oyster character with the “Double T Cupped” shells. The oysters are grown where the Potomac River and Herring Creek collide, creating a strong tidal flow that helps them to grow larger, faster, and cleaner. Double T Oyster Ranch is family-owned and was founded in 2009 by Rick Meatyard and his son Spike.
