Premium Oysters

Overview

Slow-grown for three full years in the golden waters of latitude 37°N, these bivalves reach the peak of their eating window before they are ever harvested. Thick, substantial shells open onto meat that is creamy white with a faint golden rim.

Why You Will Love It

• Three years of unhurried growth at the optimum latitude
• Plump, full-bodied meat with a high meat-to-shell ratio
• Loaded with glycogen and zinc for a sweet, juicy finish
• Bright brininess layered with a soft mineral note
• Firm yet silky texture that keeps its shape on the half shell

Ways to Enjoy

Raw — shuck, add a squeeze of lemon and taste the ocean at its purest.
Garlic grill — spoon over a minced garlic and chilli sauce and bake at 200°C for 6 to 8 minutes until bubbling.
Cheese bake — top with shredded mozzarella and bacon, then bake until golden.
Congee — dice the meat and stir into white rice porridge with ginger, finishing with white pepper and scallion.

Storage

Refrigerate at 0-4°C immediately on arrival and enjoy within 72 hours. Store flat with the shell facing down to hold in moisture. Do not freeze, as it will ruin the texture.
