"The Atlantic oyster, also known as Eastern oyster, is tear-shaped and much flatter than the Pacific oyster, with a heavy salty taste. Two of the better-known Atlantic oyster varieties are Blue Points, found in Long Island, New York, and Cape Cod’s Wellfleets. The former is known for its robust notes while the latter is relished for its strong briny flavor and a seaweed-like note at the finish."
