Atlantic oyster
Also called Eastern oyster, this species has a thick, elongated shell that ranges from 2 to 5 inches across.

Atlantic oysters are sold under different names depending on where they're harvested. The most well known is the bluepoint; others include Apalachicola, Cape Cod, Chesapeake, Chincoteague, Indian River, Kent Island, Malpeque and Wellfleet. See also oyster.
