As many of you will know we have come to the end of the Native Oyster season. With that in mind I thought I would spend a little time informing you about the oysters that we currently have on the menu, starting with the Mersea rock oysters.
The Haward family have been growing oysters in the shallow creeks from the river Blackwater to the west of Mersea Island, Colchester, Essex since 1792.
The flavour is described as follows:
A clean, fresh faint nose of rock pools, well balanced salt and sweet ratio with a delicate cucumber and lettuce flavour. It is long on the palate with earthy potting soil flavour, followed by a lingering tart metallic tang, silky, delicate and plump.
Other people describe it as delicious, why not come in and make up your own mind.
West Mersea rock oysters £1.15 each, £6.90 for 6
