*This index is meant to be helpful in learning about RI oyster types, but is in no way exhaustive or complete. Member restaurants “tagged” with an oyster have indicated these varieties as those they serve regularly. Member farms may produce more or less of a given variety across the seasons, so you may find different featured local oysters on any given day.
