Today is the turn of our most recent addition to the English’s oyster family. The Carlingford Oyster Company Ltd. which is a family-run business that has been growing oysters in the clean grade ‘A’ classification waters of Carlingford Lough since 1974.
Carlingford is a beautiful medieval town situated 60 miles from Belfast and Dublin which nestles between the mountains and the sea.
Gigas oyster or Pacific oyster come from France when they are seed and very small, (about half the size of your little finger nail) usually in the spring and they are put straight down to the oyster beds.
It takes about 3 years for the oysters to grow to sale size. Throughout these 3 years they are brought up from their sea beds, graded and re-baged a few times ~ basically they keep an eye on them so that they will grow to be a perfectly beautiful oyster for your pleasure here at English’s of Brighton.
Carlingford Lough Rock Oysters £1.15 each, £6.90 for 6
