New Zealand Pacific Oysters (sp. Crassostrea Gigas) are deep shelled and evenly shaped producing plump meat and fresh, crisp flavours with a sweet creamy finish.
They are farmed naturally in harbours throughout New Zealand’s Northland, Hauraki Gulf and Marlborough Sounds. These specially selected sites contain cool, pure, nutrient rich waters that grow a distinctly flavoured oyster perfectly suited for raw/sashimi consumption.
