Jersey Rock Oysters

All the Jersey oysters we offer are harvested from the Royal Bay of Grouville, on the east coast of Jersey. Here the oysters spend at least half the day exposed when the tide is out to "harden" them off. They are kept in this area for at least two weeks before being sent to the depuration plant in Sussex, to get them used to being out of the water and ensure only minimal stress levels during transport. This ensures that the oysters are both strong enough to stay strong during shipping, and also they are trained, so last much better when packed.

All the oysters are packed on their cupped shells, and are tightly strapped to help retain the water in the shells, giving them a longer shelf life.

The flavour is described as follows:- A thin and delicate oyster with a taste of fresh shoreline and seaweed with crisp flavour of green wood and cucumber and a hint of lemon. It is said to have a slow build up with a lingering taste of stainless steel.

Again I suggest it’s probably best you come in and try some for yourself!!
